On The Golden Shores Of Wigan 1933

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 03 Jan 2003

You have heard of Springtime in the Rockies,
and Honolulu with its coral strand,
You have sung in praise of Bonnie Scotland,
Here's the finest place in all the land.

On the golden shores of Wigan,
that's where I want to be,
to make love in the moonlight,
beneath a big tripe tree,
On the golden shores of Wigan,
you'll find it's mighty fine,
to tiptoe thro' the cowheels,
to AshtonunderLyne,
Oh my! you'll hear them softly hum,
they cry: "Oh heck and ee by gum!"
On the golden shores of Wigan,
they all shout out with glee,
"Atta chum it's champion,
sez you, sez thou, sez thee!"

On the golden shores of Wigan
I'm going there for good,
And won't I have a basin
of hot peas, and black pud,
on the golden shores of Wigan
say I'll be there by four,
there'll be Alice and John Willie
with noses round the door,
Oh my! ee won't there be a do,
pork pie and beer and hotpot too,
On the golden shores of Wigan
the girls all look so pert,
and fellows buy a yard of tripe
and wear it for a shirt.

I don't care if you have seen Kentucky,
and sweet Virginia, where the grass is blue,
you can have that heaven known as Devon,
Lancashire's the place for me and you.

On the golden shores of Wigan
most ev'ry afternoon,
Folks go out in a sharry
down to the Blue Lagoon,
On the golden shores of Wigan
they go out after dark,
and do they like a cuddle?
They do, reet up't mark!
You play with lassies so divine,
they say: "Oh don't go down the mine,"
Those girls are very pretty
by gum! They've got hot lips,
I'm telling you they're fond
of lots of love and fish and chips.

On the golden shores of Wigan
that's where I'm headin' for,
The sun is always shining
and it ain't gonna rain no more,
On the golden shores of Wigan
oh boy! I'm off today,
where lassies are so gradely
and the birds fly back'ards way,
Can't wait, that choo choo soon will go,
I'm late, farewell to fog and snow,
So now I've gotta leave you
Oh me, oh me, oh my!
All aboard for Wigan Pier
so Cheerio, Goodbye!
