Verse 1
Am 
C 
The North Country Maid
G 
Up to London has strayed
Am 
E 
Although with her nature it did not agree
C 
And she's wept and she sighed
G 
C 
G 
E 
And she's wrung her hands and cried
Am 
E 
How I wish, once again,
Am 
in the North I could be
C 
Where the oak and the ash
G 
Am 
E 
and the bonny ivy tree
Am 
E 
All flourish and bloom in
Am 
G 
my North Country
Am 
C 
G 
How sadly I roam and lament,
my dear home,
Am 
Where lads and lasses
E 
are making the hay,
C 
Where the bells they do ring,
Am 
E 
and the little birds they sing,
Am 
E 
And the maidens at meadows
Am 
G 
Am 
are pleasant and  gay
C 
Where the oak and the ash
G 
E 
and the bonnie ivy tree
Am 
E 
All flourish and bloom in my
Am 
G 
Am 
north -gone tree
C 
Well, I bet if I pleased
G 
I could marry with ease
Am 
For where bonnie lassies are,
E 
lovers will come
C 
But the land that I wed must be
G 
Am 
E 
North Country bred
Am 
E 
And must carry me back
Am 
G 
Am 
to my North Country home
C 
Where the oak and the ash
G 
E 
and the bonny ivy tree
Am 
E 
Of flourish and bloom in
Am 
G 
my North Country.
