My transcription from the recording at The Internet Archive:


SHE'S THE LASS FOR ME
Words and music by Harry Lauder.
London: Francis, Day and Hunter, ©1912.
As sung by Harry Lauder, 1913.

1. It was on a bonnie summer day; the sun was shinin' clear.
I went away on a holiday an' I met a dear wee dear.
She looked so neat, a pairfect treat; her eyes were full of bliss;
And ever since I kissed her face, I'm always singin' this:

CHORUS: She's the lass for me; she's the lass for me.
I've never seen another face
That could ever take her place.
She has locked ma hairt an' stolen away the key.
She is, yes, she is, she's the lass for me.

2. Her age is only twenty-one on the sixth o' next July.
I'd like to buy her something nice but I don't know what to buy.
I'd like to buy her a tartan tie an' a bonnie wee tartan box,
For she's been kind to me; she's knitted me twenty pairs o' socks.
