MY GIRL'S A YORKSHIRE GIRL
(C. W. Murphy and Dan Lipton)
("Originally sung by the music-hall star Miss Vesta Tilley.")

Two young fellows were talking about their girls, girls, girls,
Sweethearts they'd left behind,
Sweethearts for whom they pined.
One said, "My little shy little lass has a waist so trim and small.
Grey are her eyes so bright, but best, best of all...

CHO: "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,
I've a sort of a Yorkshire relish for my little Yorkshire Rose."

When the first finished singing in praise of Rose, Rose, Rose,
Poor Number Two looked vexed,
Saying in tones perplexed,
"My lass works in a factory too, and has also eyes of grey.
Her name is Rose as well, and strange, strange to say... CHO.

To a cottage in Yorkshire they hied to Rose, Rose, Rose,
Meaning to make it clear
Which was the boy most dear.
Rose, their Rose, didn't answer the bell, but her husband did instead.
Loudly he sang to them as off, off they fled... CHO.
