SHE'S A LASSIE FROM LANCASHIRE. English, Air and Waltz-Clog (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "She's a lassie from Lancashire" was a popular British Music Hall song written by C.W. Murphy, Dan Lipton and John Neat, recorded by Florrie Forde in 1932, but first performed by her in September, 1906. The first two stanzas of the song go:

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

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.
