Here's the lyrics and chord positioning:
G E7 A D
G I love a girl and E7that is that
She Acomes from the east where the Dland is flat
And on the Gsurface she E7may seem dumb
Cos her Auncle is her cousin and he's Dmarried to her mum
ButG she's al-right, she's our E7family rose
She's got Atwo strong arms and she's Dgot webbed toes
And when Gwe get close E7 and she gets randy
Her Aextra finger Dcomes in quite handy
She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens D
She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens D
If Gyou meet a girl who comes E7from Wisbech
You Amight have trouble underDstanding her speech
She Gsounds a bit like a TasE7manian devil
And she Agets a nosebleed aDbove sea level
On Gour first date we E7got a bit tipsy
She Atook me to a place where a Dfarmer shot a gypsy
Then we Gwent to Kings Lynn E7 to do some shopping
She's the ACambridgeshire champion D of carrot topping
She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens D
She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens D
Well Gmy fenland girl has E7got the X-Factor
At Asix years old she Dlearnt to drive a tractor
And at Geight she plucked turkeys, E7nine she plucked quails
She was Aborn with the black soil Dunder her nails
From GPeterborough where E7they're a bit posh
To ASpalding and Kings Lynn and the Dshores of The Wash
I will Gfollow that girl and my E7heart I do pledge
We will Agrow old together picking Dseasonal veg
She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens
On her Dheart I depend She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens D
Well she G smells of onions, she's got E7hair like wheat
She's my Apotato, oh girl, sweet Dlike sugar beet
And she Gkeeps all her wishes in a E7 pickling jar
AlAthough they're bigger than a combine Dharvest-ar
She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens
On her Dheart I depend She's Gmy girl from the E7fens
She's my girl from the Afens
Where civilisDation ends, that's the Gfens
She's my E7girl from the Afens
