If you're travelin' in the North country fair
Where the winds blow heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

If you go when the snowflakes fall
And the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see that you have a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds

Please see that her hair's hanging down
That it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me that her hair's hanging down
That's the way I remember her best

I’m wonderin’ if she remembers me at all
Many the 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 blow heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
She once was a true love of mine
