The Oak And The Ash (橡树与桉树) - The King's Singers (国王歌手合唱团)

Written by：Traditional

Oh the oak and the ash

Oh the oak and the ash

And the bonny ivy tree

How I wish once again in the north I could be

A north country maid up to London had strayed

Although with her nature it did not agree

She wept and she sighed and so bitterly she cried

How I wish once again in the North I could be

Oh the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree

They flourish at home in my own country

While sadly I roam I regret my dear home

Where lads and young lasses are making the hay

The merry bells ring and the birds sweetly sing

The meadows are pleasant and maidens are gay

Oh the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree

They flourish at home in my own country

No doubt did I please I could marry with ease

For where maidens are fair many lovers will come

But the one whom I wed must be north country bred

And tarry with me in my north country home

Oh the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree

They flourish at home in my own country

How I wish once again in the north

I could be
