Lyrics
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
