North Country Maid |
A North country maid up to London has strayed |
Although with her nature it did not agree |
So she wept and she sighed and bitterly she cried |
«Oh, I wish once again in the North I could be.» |
For the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree |
They all grow green in the North country |
While sadly I roam I regret my dear home |
Where the lads and young lasses are making the hay |
Where the birds sweetly sing, and the merry bells do ring |
And the maidens and meadows are pleasant and gay |
For the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree |
They all grow green in the North country |
No doubt if I please, I could marry with ease |
Where maidens are fair, many lovers will come |
But he that I wed must be North country bred |
And carry me back to my own country |
For the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree |
They all grow so green in the North country |
