_ Oh, it was last [G] Monday _ _ morning, _ _ as I have heard [Bb] them say
_ _ [C] Our orders, they came from _ Manchester, _ _ [G] we were too much [C] away _
_ _ _ _ Leaving _ [G] many a pretty fair maid to cry, what shall I [Bb] _
do?
_ But [C] the Lancashire lads, they have gone _ abroad, _ [G] _
whatever _ shall I do?

_ _ _ Said the mother _ unto [Eb] her _ [C] daughter, _ _ I'll have you close [Bb] _

_ To _ [C] want to marry [Eb] a _ [G] Lancashire lad, the whole wide world [C] to ring
_ _ _ _ _ _
Soldiers [G] they are, but rambling boys, _ _ get but little [Bb] pay
_ _ _ _ [G] They _ _ [Eb] maintain a wife and [G] child _ on eighteen pence [C] a _ day _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ Oh my love he's dressed [Eb] up in [C] _
_ scarlet, and jackets _ of the [Bb] blue
_ _ _ [C] And every _ town [Cm] that he [C] goes through, to his sweet heart [Gm] he'll be [C] true _
_ _ We'll get _ sweethearts [Bb] in our few boys, and [F] girls that will please [Bb] our mind _
_ Oh we'll never _ forget [Gm] sweet [G] Manchester, _ [Gm] and the girls that [Gm] we've left _ [C] behind _
