1
Alison Gross that lives in yon tower
2
The ugliest witch in the North Country
3
Has trysted me one day up to her bower
4
And many a fair speech she made to me
5
She stroked my head and she combed my hair
6
She set me down softly on her knee
7
Saying if you will be my lover so true
8
So many good things I would give to you
9
Away, away, you ugly witch
10
Go far away and let me be
11
I never will be your lover so true
12
And wish I were out of your community
13
[Chorus]
14
Alison Gross she must be
15
The ugliest witch in the North Country
16
Alison Gross she must be
17
The ugliest witch in the North Country
18
She showed me a mantle of red scarlet
19
With golden flowers and fringes fine
20
Saying if you will be my lover so true
21
This goodly gift it shall be thine
22
She showed me a shirt of the softest silk
23
Well wrought with pearls abound the band
24
Saying if you will be my lover so true
25
This goodly gift you shall command
26
[Chorus]
27
She showed me a cup of the good red gold
28
Well set with jewels so fair to see
29
Saying if you will be my lover so true
30
This goodly gift I will give to thee
31
Away, away, you ugly witch
32
Go far away and let me be
33
I never would kiss your ugly mouth
34
For all of the gifts that you could give
35
[Chorus]
36
She turned her right and round about
37
And thrice she blew on a grass-green horn
38
She swore by the moon and the stars of above
39
That she'd make me rue the day I was born
40
The out she has taken a silver wand
41
She's turned her three times round and round
42
She muttered such words till my strength it did fail
43
And she's turned me into an ugly worm
44
[Chorus]
