Lyrics
In Sowerby Bridge there is a working lass
Who’s stronger than the broadest man
And if a job needs doing properly
They'll call her in to lend a hand
She brews all the ale from there to Denby Dale
And drinks a good load of it too
And if you could see her washing clothes in the weir
You’d surely be making her a brew
She’s always in a hurry from Sowerby to Dewsbury
Having found the quickest route through the hills
And all along the way
She pushes the wheels of the mills
Oh Eddie my dear
I always loved you
For your ebb and your flow
But Eddie my dear
I would forgive you
If you had to go
Verse
She’s never treated right by the men in her life
Who have used her for all sorts of things
So, when life gets hard, she floors all their yards
Just before the curlew can sing
She’s always moving on to Wakey and beyond
Before she gets lost in the Aire
And all the along the way old Eddie looks
Beautifully fair
