North Country Maid is the fourth studio album by Marianne Faithfull. It was released only in the United Kingdom. The arrangements were by Jon Mark and Mick Taylor. Gus Dudgeon was the engineer and Gered Mankowitz was the photographer. The guitarists included Jon Mark and Big Jim Sullivan. Half of the songs had been released months earlier in the United States on the album Go Away from My World. Green Are Your Eyes" (Bert Jansch). Scarborough Fair" (Traditional; arranged by Jon Mark).
Faithfull was still known primarily as a pop singer when she put out North Country Maid, but this is in fact very close to a pure folk album, with a bit of influence from pop, rock, blues, and jazz. Largely overlooked even by Faithfull fans, it's actually a quite respectable effort, and probably her best LP (other than greatest-hits compilations) from the time when her voice was still on the high side.

A North country maid up to London has strayed Although with her nature it did not agree So she wept and she sighed and bitterly she cried "Oh, I wish once again in the North I could be". For the oak and the ash and the bonny ivy tree They all grow green in the North country. While sadly I roam I regret my dear home Where the lads and young lasses are making the hay Where the birds sweetly sing, and the merry bells do ring And the maidens and meadows are pleasant and gay.

Extra Tracks, Import. I would claim that 'North Country Maid' is one of the greatest albums ever recorded in any genre. It was incomprehensible to me that it took so long for it to be released on CD especially when mountains of dross was being transferred unceasingly. And it has always been a great sadness to me that Marianne Faithfull made no more recordings in this style and, to be more specific, using this kind of vocal production. She had a beautiful voice at this time and was able to give a quality no other modern folk singer was able to.
