21 Nov 99 - 02:19 PM (#139206) Subject: Haunted by Two Songs From: dragondai I have been searching for a long while for the lyrics/chords for two songs. The first is a mining song called 'Geordie Black' and the second is called 'The Maidens of Burnley - or 'The Calico Dress.' Any help on either would be much appreciated. |

27 Nov 99 - 11:21 AM (#141339) Subject: Lyr Add: THE MAID IN THE CALICO DRESS^^^ From: Timbobbin I think this may be what you are after. THE MAID IN THE CALICO DRESS 1. In flowery July upon Healey's proud heights, As the plovers come from the moor end, And southward the cuckoo is taking his flight And the corncrakes are deep in the grass, A swallow and swift were aloft in the air And a starling was feeding her young. The milkmaid was tending her cattle with care, And the haymakers cheerfully sung. CHORUS: The maidens of Burnley in satin or silk Are pretty I freely confess, But give me the maid who is neatly arrayed In a beautiful calico dress. 2. You may praise the Italian ladies in vain And the maidens of France or Peru, Or worship the languishing beauties of Spain And the blushing Caucasians too; But she whom I love has an eye like a sloe And her cheeks are like roses in June; So graceful each step as she trips like a doe And her ruby red lips are in tune. 3. Should fortune or friendship compel me to roam, Or a thirst after changes constrain, I'd still call the banks of old Healey my home And I'd sing of its beauties again. Sweet gardens of roses or our cultured bowers May delight a poor soul to possess, But give me old Healey bedecked with wild flowers And the maid in the calico dress. |
