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
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
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
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
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
