D G Em
In Manchester, that city of cotton twist and twills,
G D G D Em A
There lived the subject of me song, the cause of all me ills.
G D G Em
She was handsome, young and twenty, her eyes were azure blue
D G Em D
Admirers she had plenty and her name was Dorothy Drew.
Chorus (after each verse):
G D G A7
She was very fond of dancing, but allow me to remark
D G A D
That one fine day she danced away with the calico printer's clerk.
D G Em
At a private ball I met her in eighteen sixty-three;
G D G D Em A
I never will forget her, though she wasn’t kind to me.
G D G Em
She were dressed in the pink of fashion, and her lavender gloves were new,
D G Em D
And we danced the Waltz Circassian, with charming Dorothy Drew.
Chorus
G D G A7
She was very fond of dancing, but allow me to remark
D G A D
That one fine day she danced away with the calico printer's clerk.
D G Em
We schottisched and we polka’d to the strains the band did play;
G D G D Em A
We waltzed and we mazurka’d till she waltzed my heart away.
G D G Em
I whispered in this manner, as around the room we flew
D G Em D
And doing the Varsovienna, that: “I love you Dorothy Drew.”
Chorus
G D G A7
She was very fond of dancing, but allow me to remark
D G A D
That one fine day she danced away with the calico printer's clerk.
D G Em
For months and months, attention unto her I did pay
G D G D Em A
To win her condescension, I gave me heart away
G D G Em
The money I expended, I'm ashamed to tell to you
D G Em D
But I'll tell you how it ended with meself and Dorothy Drew.
Chorus
G D G A7
She was very fond of dancing, but allow me to remark
D G A D
That one fine day she danced away with the calico printer's clerk.
D G Em
I received an intimation she a visit meant to pay
G D G D Em A
Unto some near relations who lived not far away
G D G Em
In a month she'd be returning, I must bid a short adieu
D G Em D
But her love for me was burning, oh deceitful Dorothy Drew.
Chorus
G D G A7
She was very fond of dancing, but allow me to remark
D G A D
That one fine day she danced away with the calico printer's clerk.
D G Em
At nine o'clock next morning to breakfast I sat down
G D G D Em A
The smile me face adorning soon changed into a frown.
G D G Em
For in the morning papers, a paragraph met my view
D G Em D
That Jones, the calico printer's clerk, had married Dorothy Drew.
Chorus
G D G A7
She was very fond of dancing, but allow me to remark
D G A D
That one fine day she danced away with the calico printer's clerk.
