Marianne Faithfull - North Country Maid Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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.
