girl from the north country

well

if you're travelin' in the north country fair

where the winds hit heavy on the borderline

remember me to one who lives there. she once was a true love of mine. well

if you go when the snowflakes storm

when the rivers freeze and summer ends

please see if she's wearing a coat so warm

to keep her from the howlin' winds. please see for me if her hair hangs long

if it rolls and flows all down her breast. please see for me if her hair hangs long

that's the way i remember her best. i'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all. many times i've often prayed

in the darkness of my night

in the brightness of my day. so if you're travelin' in the north country fair

where the winds hit heavy on the borderline

remember me to one who lives there. she once was a true love of mine.
