When first I came to Yorkshire,
Not many years ago.
I met with a bonny Yorkshire lass,
And I’ll have you all to know,
She was both blithe and buxom,
So beautiful and gay,
Now listen while I tell to you,
What her daddy used to say…

“Treat my daughter kindly,
Don't do her any harm.
And when I die I'll leave to you,
My tiny little farm.
My cow, my pig and my sheep and goat,
My house, my field and barn.
And all the little chickens in the garden."

When first I came to court the lass,
She was so blooming shy.
She never said a dicky bird,
When other folks went by.
But as soon as we were on our own,
She made me name the day,
Now listen while I tell to you,
What her daddy used to say…

And so I wed my Yorkshire lass,
So pleasing to my mind,
I always did prove true to her,
And she proved true and kind.
We have three kids, they’re grown up now.
There's a grandkid on the way.
And when I look into their eyes,
I hear their grandad say…
