Alison Gross that lives in yon tower The ugliest witch in the North Country Has trysted me one day up to her bower And many a fair speech she made to me She stroked my head and [bad word] my hair She set me down softly on her knee Saying if you will be my lover so [bad word] So many good things I would give to you Away, away, you ugly witch Go far away and let me be I never will be your lover so [bad word] And wish I were out of [bad word] [bad word] Alison Gross she must be The ugliest witch in the North Country Alison Gross she must be The ugliest witch in the North Country She showed me a mantle of red scarlet With golden flowers and fringes fine Saying if you will be my lover so [bad word] This goodly gift it shall be thine She showed me a shirt of the softest silk Well wrought with pearls abound the band Saying if you will be my lover so [bad word] This goodly gift you [bad word] [bad word] She showed me a cup of the good red gold Well set with jewels so fair to see Saying if you will be my lover so [bad word] This goodly gift I will give to thee Away, away, you ugly witch Go far away and let me be I never would kiss your ugly mouth For all of the gifts that you could give [bad word] She turned her right and round about And thrice she blew on a grass-green horn She swore by the moon and the stars of above That she'd make [bad word] the day I was born The out she has taken a silver wand She's turned her three times round and round She muttered such words till my strength it did fail And she's turned me into an ugly worm [bad word]
