A NORTH COUNTRY MAID

                                              from the Watersons

1. A north country maid up to London has strayed

   All though with her nature it did not agree

   And she's wept and she's sighed

   And she's wrung her hands and cried,

   Oh I wish once again in the north I could be.

Chorus:

   For the oak and the ash,

   And the bonny ivy tree

   All flourish and bloom

   In my north country.

2. How sadly I roamed

   And lament my dear home,

   Where lads and lasses are making the hay

   Where the bells they do ring

   And the little birds do sing,

   And the maidens and meadows are pleasant and gay.

3. No doubt if I please, I could marry with ease

   For where bonnie lasses are, lovers will come

   But the lad that I wed, must be North country bred,

   And must carry me back to my North country home.
