If you're traveling in the north country fair
where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
remember me to one who lives there
for she was once a true love of mine
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm
when the rivers freeze and summer ends
please see for me 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's hanging long
for that's the way I remember her best
I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all
many times I've hoped and prayed
in the darkness of my night
in the brightness of my day
So if you're traveling in the north country fair
where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Please say hello to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
