Houghton Weavers – The Blackpool Belle Chords

Oh! The Blackpool Belle was a get away train that
went from Northern Stations,
What a beautiful sight on a Saturday night,
bound for the illuminations.
No mothers and dads, just girls and lads, young and fancyfree
Out for the laughs on the Golden Mile at
Blackpool by the Sea.

I remember very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle.
I remember them pals of mine when I ride the Blackpool Line,
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle.

Little Piggy Greenfield he was there.
He thought he was mighty slick.
He bought a hat on the Golden Mile
and the hat said “Kiss me quick”.
Piggy was a lad for all the girls, but he drank too much beer.
He made a pass at a Liverpool lass
and she pushed him off the pier.

I remember very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle.
I remember them pals of mine when I ride the Blackpool Line,
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle.

Ice cream Sally could never settle down.
She lived for herKnickerbocker Glories,
Till she clicked with a bloke who said he was broke,
but she loved his ice cream stories.
She took it all in with a smile and a grin. She fell for Sailor Jack.
They went for a trip to the Isle of Man and never did come back.

I remember very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle.
I remember them pals of mine when I ride the Blackpool Line,
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle.

Now some of us went up the Blackpool Tower,
others in the Tunnel of Love.
A few made off for the Blackpool Sands
under the pier above.
There was always a rush at the midnight hour,
but we made it just the same,
And I made off with a Liverpool lass,
but I could never remember her name.

I remember very well
All the happy gang aboard the Blackpool Belle.
I remember them pals of mine when I ride the Blackpool Line,
And the songs we sang together on the Blackpool Belle.
