G D G
From a dear little Lancashire town a boy had sailed away
G Am D
Across the briny spray to toil in U S A
G D G
When American girls gathered round and sought his company
Em G D
He'd say there's only one girl for me
G D C D
She's a lassie from Lancashire just a lassie from Lancashire
G D C D
She's the lassie that I love dear oh so dear
G D C D
Though she dresses in clogs and shawl she's the prettiest of them all
G C D G
None could be fairer or rarer than Sarah my lassie from Lancashire
verse 2
G D G
Night and day of his lassie he'd dream and under love's sweet spell
G Am D
He'd hear the factory bell the sound he knew so well
G D G
Home from work they would walk once again and thought in reverie
Em G D
He'd say there's only one girl for me
G D C D
She's a lassie from Lancashire just a lassie from Lancashire
G D C D
She's the lassie that I love dear oh so dear
G D C D
Though she dresses in clogs and shawl she's the prettiest of them all
G C D G
None could be fairer or rarer than Sarah my lassie from Lancashire
verse 3
G D G
Day by day he kept plodding away and to his task he stuck
G Am D
Till by a stroke of luck a paying vein he struck
G D G
As he wrote her to tell her that he would shortly cross the sea
Em G D
He'd say there's only one girl for me
G D C D
She's a lassie from Lancashire just a lassie from Lancashire
G D C D
She's the lassie that I love dear oh so dear
G D C D
Though she dresses in clogs and shawl she's the prettiest of them all
G C D G
None could be fairer or rarer than Sarah my lassie from Lancashire
