Am     G          C            E
Alison Gross that lives in yon tower
    Am      G     C      D     E
The ugliest witch in the North Country
    C       G          Am        E
Has trysted me one day up to her bower
    Am     E               E7      Am
And many a fair speech she made to me


    Am         G            C         E
She stroked my head and she combed my hair
    Am     G    C      D      E
She set me down softly on her knee
       C      G          Am       E
Saying if you will be my lover so true
   Am   E    E7             Am
So many good things I would give to you


Am    G         C    E
Away, away, you ugly witch
Am     G        C   D  E
Go far away and let me be
  C          G       Am       E
I never will be your lover so true
        Am         E      E7   Am
And I'd wish I was out of your company


Chorus:
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E            G     D
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E     G      D     E
The ugliest witch in the North Country


    Am          G         C   E
She showed me a mantle of red scarlet
     Am     G       C   D       E
With golden flowers and fringes fine
     C      G        Am          E
Says if you would be my lover so true
     Am     E       E7       Am
This goodly gift it shall be thine


    Am          G            C       E
She showed me a shirt of the softest silk
     Am           G      C    D     E
Well wrought with pearls abound the band
       C      G          Am       E
Saying if you will be my lover so true
     Am     E        E7    Am
This goodly gift you shall command


Chorus
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E            G     D
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E     G      D     E
The ugliest witch in the North Country


    Am          G          C        E
She showed me a cup of the good red gold
     Am       G      C  D       E
Well set with jewels so fair to see
C           G          Am       E
Says if you will be my lover so true
     Am     E           E7      Am
This goodly gift I will give to thee


Am    G         C    E
Away, away, you ugly witch
Am     G    C   D      E
Go far away and let me be
  C     G     Am        E
I never would kiss your ugly mouth
    Am         E          E7        Am
For all of the gifts that you could give


Chorus
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E            G     D
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E     G      D     E
The ugliest witch in the North Country



    Am         G         C     E
She turned her right and round about
    Am         G         C     D     E
And thrice she blew on a grass-green horn
    C            G            Am       E
She swore by the moon and the stars of above
           Am      E       E7        Am
That she'd make me rue the day I was born



    Am          G       C      E
The out she has taken a silver wand
      Am         G     C     D         E
She's turned her three times round and round
    C             G             Am              E
She muttered such words till my strength it did fail
    Am           E          E7   Am
And she's turned me into an ugly worm


Chorus
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E            G     D
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Am                    G
Alison Gross she must be
    Am      E     G      D     E
The ugliest witch in the North Country
