As an exile from Lancashire ( suffering the terrible life here in California) I always find myself singing "I wish I was in Lancashire" when I'm homesick. It's a Cicely Fox Smith poem set to music, I think, by the Aspeys-it's on their album "From the North" There's gradely hounds in Lancashire as such there always were Theres gradely hills in Lancashire although they're bleak and bare There's gradely lads in Lancashire and that I'll tell you true And I wish I was in Lancashire a-huntin' o'er the dew. I long to be in Lancashire......
