Subject: RE: Origins: My Girl's a Corker
The idea behind "My Girl's a ..." could go back a ways. This song was mentioned in James Joyce. Lyrics posted by Jim Dixon - "My Girl's a Yorkshire Girl." Look at the chorus- Different melody to this music hall song.
My girl's a Yorkshire girl- Yorkshire through and through. My girl's a Yorkshire girl, Eh! by gum, she's a champion! Though she's a factory lass And wears no fancy clothes, Still I've got a sort of a Yorkshire relish For my little Yorkshire rose.
