THE OAK AND THE ASH
17th C. English folk song
Key: Em

-4  6    6   -6*  7 
A North Coun-try maid
-6* 6 -6* -6*  7    -7
Up to Lon-don had strayed
7-6*  6    6   -6* 7  -6*
Al-though with her na-ture
6  -5* -8 -7* -8
It did not a-gree
 -8 8  -9  -8  -7  7
Which made her re-pent
-6* 7  -7   7 -6* 6   -5
And so bit-ter-ly la-ment
6 -6* 7    -6* 6 -5*
Oh I wish once a-gain
 6  -6*   6   -8-7* -8
For the North Coun-try
-8  8  -9  -8  -7   7
Oh the oak and the ash
-6*  7  -7   7 -6* 6  -5
And the bon-nie i-vy tree
6-6*   7   -6* 6   -5*
They flour-ish at home
6  -6* 6  6 -5  6
In my own coun-try
