I had an old Spinners tape (anyone remember them?) that had a song on it that went something like this:

In manchester that city, of cotton twist n' twill, Lived the subject of me song, the cause of all me ills, She was handsome young and twenty, her eyes were rosy blue, Admirers she had plenty, her name was dorothy drew,

CHORUS: She was very fond o' dancing, Allow me to remark, Then one fine day she danced away, With the Calico printers clark,

At a private ball I met her, in eighteen sixty three, I never will forget her though she was unkind to me, I was dressed in the pink of fashion, me lavender gloves were new, And I danced the bold segassion(???)with me charming dotty drew,

There were several more verses but Im not sure of them.

Can anyone help?? Sorry for any spelling mistakes etc :)
