Girl From the North Country

by Bob Dylan,

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.

Hey Lynne, we just saw Dylan recently here with Elvis Costello and Amos Lee. They were all excellent. Dylan's voice is really gravelly but he has a raw blues sound on this tour and I really enjoyed it. He is the quintessential American songwriter, and this is one of my favorites. Cindy
