Oh I wish once again for the North Country. Oh the oak and the ash and the bonnie ivy tree They flourish at home in my own country O fain would I be in the North Country, Where the lads and the lasses are making of hay, There should I see what is pleasant to me, A mischief light on them entic'd me away! I like not the court, nor the city resort, Since there is no fancy for such maids as me Their pomp and their pride I can never abide, Because with my humor it does not agree. How oft have I been in the Westmoreland green Where the young men and maidens resort for to play Where we with delight, from morning till night Could feast it and frolic on each holiday. The ewes and their lambs, with the kids and their dams To see in the country how finely they play The bells they do ring and the birds they do sing And the fields and the gardens are pleasant and gay At wakes and at fairs, being freed of all cares We there with our lovers did use for to dance Then hard hap I had, my ill fortune to try And so up to London my steps to advance But still I perceive, I a husband might have If I to the city my mind could but frame But I'll have a lad that is North Country bred Or else I'll not marry, in the mind that I am A maiden I am and a maid I'll remain Until my own country again I do see For here in this place, I shall ne'er see the face Of him that's allotted my love for to be Then farewell my daddy and farewell my mammy Until I do see you, I nothing but mourn Rememb'ring my brothers, my sisters and others In less than a year, I hope to return. @England @plant @homesick from Cole, Folksongs of England, Ireland, Scotland, & Wales filename[ NCNTRYM2 play.exe NCNTRYMD SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: O Come All Ye Faithful, O Du Lieber Augustin, O For Ane And Twenty Tam, O Holy Night, O Kenmures On And Awa Willie, Oak Ash And Thorn, October Roses, Ode To The Little Brown Shack, Odooleys First Five Oclock Tea, Oedallay, Of Late Ive Been Driven Near Crazy, Off To Dublin In The Green, Oggy Man, Oh A Drop Of Nelsons Blood Wouldnt Do Us Any Harm, Oh Are You Sleeping Maggie, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Oh Con All The Faithful, Oh Freedom, Oh Genevieve, Oh Holy Night, Oh How He Lied, Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem, Oh Lovely Appearance Of Death, Oh Mistress Mine, Oh My Liver And My Lungs, Oh No John, Oh Oh Oh Its A Lovely War, Oh Susanna, Oh That Low Bridge, Oh What A Face, Oh What A Merry Land Is England, Old And Only In The Way, Old Avram Brown Round, Old Bangum, Old Beer Bottle, Old Blue, Old Blue Suit, Old Chizzum Chisholm Trail, Old Dun Cow, Old Family Toothbrush, Old Fiddler And His Cow, Old Folks At Home, Old German Clockwinder, Old Huac, Old Jack Frost, Old Judge Duffy, Old Kentucky Home, Old Maid, Old Maid In The Garret, Old Maid Song, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
