Well, if you're travelin' down to the north country fair
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 goin down to snowflakes storm

The rivers freeze and summers end
You see if she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds


You see for me if her hair hangs long
It rolls and falls all down her breast

Will you see for me the hair's hanging long
That's the way I remember 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

If you're travelin' to 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.
