A North Country maid
Up to London has strayed
Although 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 (after each verse):
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree
All flourish and bloom in my North Country
