From a dear little Lancashire town a boy had sailed away

Across the briny spray to toil in U S A

He'd say there's only one girl for me

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

He'd say there's only one girl for me

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

He'd say there's only one girl for me
