SHE'S A LASSIE FROM LANCASHIRE
By C.W. Murphy, Dan Lipton and John Neat, 1907

1. From a dear little Lancashire Town,
A boy had sailed away,
Across the briny spray,
To toil in the U.S.A.
When American girls gathered round
And sought his company,
He'd say, "There's only one girl for me."

CHORUS: "She's a lassie from Lancashire,
Just a lassie from Lancashire,
She's the lassie that I love dear,
Oh! so dear.
Though she dresses in clogs and shawl,
She's the prettiest of them all,
None could be fairer or rarer than Sarah,
My lass from Lancashire. CHORUS

2. Night and day of his lassie he'd dream,
And under love's sweet spell,
He'd hear the fact'ry bell,
A sound he knew so well.
Home from work they would walk once again
And tho' in reverie,
He'd say, "There's only one girl for me."

3. Day by day he kept plodding away,
And to his task he stuck,
Till by a stroke of luck,
A paying vein he struck.
As he wrote they would tell her that he
Would shortly cross the sea,
He'd say, "There's only one girl for me." CHORUS


I'll post the song from t'other side o't' Pennines tomorrow!
