North Country Maid w/Jack Hwite

*Jack Hwite did the majority of the work on this song so I'd like to give him such a BIG Thank you!!! When he said that he wanted to cover this old traditional folk song with me, I got so excited! Who better to collaborate on a song like this than Jack Hwite himself? He's one of my all-time favorite songwriters and a very dear friend, so this was truly an honor.

*Please give him a sub if you haven't already:

North Country Maid

Lyrics:
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

Where the oak and the ash
And the bonny rowan tree
Are all growin’ green
In my North country

How sadly I roam and lament my dear home
Where lads and lasses are making the hay
Where the bells they do ring
And the little birds they sing
And the maidens and meadows are pleasant and gay

Where the oak and the ash
And the bonny rowan tree
Are all growin’ green
In my North country

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

Where the oak and the ash
And the bonny rowan tree
Are all growin’ green
In my White country
