About the Folk Song
This song contrasts city life with memories of the green countryside of northern England. Early versions appeared in 1600s songbooks and broadsides, showing how widely it was known even then. The gentle melody and steady rhythm make it a graceful reflection on home and belonging. Its refrain about “the oak and the ash” has become a familiar image of English folk tradition.
