| As I went a-walking in the | |
| North Country, | |
| Down by Kirby | |
| Steven I happened for to be, | |
| As I was a-walking up and down the street, | |
| A pretty little buy-a-broom | |
| I chanced for to meet. chorus: | |
| For she was right, | |
| I was tight, everybody has their way, | |
| It was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray. | |
| She kindly then invited me to go a little way, | |
| Yes was the answer to her | |
| I did say, | |
| There was me with me music walkin' down the street, | |
| And her with her tambourine was beatin' hand and feet. chorus | |
| Straight way out for | |
| Kendal town we steered her and | |
| I , Over young green mountain the weather being dry, | |
| We each had a bottle filled up to the top | |
| And whenever we were getting dry we took a little drop. chorus | |
| The night was coming on and good lodgings we did find, | |
| Eatables of all kind and plenty of good wine, | |
| Good bed and blankets just for we two, | |
| And I rolled her in me arms me boys, and wouldn't you do too. chorus | |
| Early the next morning we arose to go our way, | |
| I called than to the landlord to see what was to pay, | |
| Fourteen and sixpence just for two, | |
| Four crowns upon the table my darling then she threw. chorus | |
| Well the reason that we parted | |
| I now shall let you hear, | |
| She started off for | |
| Germany right early the next year, | |
| But me being unwilling for to cross the raging sea, | |
| Here's a health unto my bonny lass wherever she may be. chorus repeat |
