The Blackpool Belle - Houghton Weavers
Tabbed by Mucker
C G
Oh the Blackpool Belle was a getaway train that went from Northern stations
G C
What a beautiful sight on a Saturday night bound for the illuminations
C F
No mothers and dads just girls and lads young and fancy free
F C G C
Out for the laughs on the Golden Mile at Blackpool by the sea
CHORUS
C F C
I remember - very well
F A Dm
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle
C E Am
I remember them pals of mine, when I ride the Blackpool line
Dm G C
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle
C G
Little Piggy Greenfield he was there he thought he was mighty slick
G C
He bought a hat on the Golden Mile the hat said "Kiss Me Quick"
C F
Piggy was a lad for all the girls but he drank too much beer
F C G C
He made a pass at a Liverpool lass and she pushed him off the pier
CHORUS
C G
Ice cream Sally could never settle down she lived for her Knickerbocker glories
G C
Till she clicked with a bloke who said he was broke but she loved his Ice cream stories
C F
Sally took it all in with a smile and a grin she fell for sailor Jack
F C G C
They went for a trip to the Isle of Man and never did come back
CHORUS
C G
Now the Blackpool Belle has a thousand tales if they could all be told
G C
Many of these I will recall as I am growing old
C F
They were happy days and I miss the times we'd pull the curtains down
F C G C
And the Passion Wagon would steam back home and we would go to town
CHORUS
