Written in 1907 and recorded by Walter Miller AKA Stanley Kirkby. . = From a dear little Lancashire town a boy had sailed away Across the briny spray to toil in U S When American girls gathered 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 lassie from Lancashire Night and day of his lassie he'd dream and under love's sweet spell He'd hear the factory bell the sound he knew so well Home from work they would walk once again and thought in reverie 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 lassie from Lancashire 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 her to tell her that he would shortly cross the sea 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 lassie from Lancashire
