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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
