about

A SONG ABOUT A YOUNG VICTORIAN GIRL THRU THE EYES OF A WISHFUL SUITOR

lyrics

THE GIRL FROM NORTHAMPTON copyright 2020 Robb Cairns C F C G
I’ll sing you a song ‘bout the girl from Northampton
C F C G
A more beautiful woman, your eyes will not see
C F C G
With long blond hair but she felt so abandoned
C F G C
When she walked in the meadow, flowers bowed jealously.

2. Well, this lovely young lass, she could call up a rainbow

Just with her smile in her own special way

But she’ll never be found in this town’s lover lane tho’

Because her heart was broken one day.

CHORUS:

F C G Am
ALL THE WHILE, TOWNSPEOPLE WOULD HOPE FOR
F C G Am
A HANDSOME LAD TO BREAK HER SAD SPELL
F C G Am
THEY HATED TO SEE ANYONE SO LOVELY
F C G
IMPRISONED INSIDE HER SHELL.
C F C G
3. One day a young handsome man came to town
C F C G
When their eyes first met, they were smitten in love
C F C G
They walked and they courted until evening sundown
C F G C
They made merry that night with the stars all above.
(go to Chorus)

C F C G
4. I’ll sing you a song ‘bout the girl from Northampton
C F C G
A more beautiful woman, you eyes will not see
C F C G
With long blond hair and she laughs with abandon
C F G C
When she walks in the meadow, flowers bow gracefully.
