Girl from the North Country Lyrics
If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was the true love of mine.
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds.
Please see if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see from me if her hair hangs long
That's the way I remember her best.
I'm a-wonderin' if she remember 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.
Written by Bob Dylan
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was the true love of mine.
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds.
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see from me if her hair hangs long
That's the way I remember her best.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day.
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.

The line "Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine" was also used in the song Scarborough Fair, arranged by British songwriter Martin Carthy, who was Bob Dylan’s friend. Scarborough Fair, made famous by Simon and Garfunkel, is a traditional English ballad, arranged in this case by Paul Simon who also heard it from Carthy. The original ballad had different lyrics so of course each time it was arranged by another songwriter, the ballad presented different perspectives.
Remember me to one who lives there, she once was ... Once? Well we two do seem to have bailed on you. I just thought it was a balance thing. All three of us can’t play Relentless at once now can we, and I am, so you two aren’t. Isn’t it a balance thing? If you say so. I look at it this way. Even if it wasn’t, you would just shrug and say, um, I have some work to do. But I do, you know. No rest for the wicked. No rest for the wicked..... Give me a break...
