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.
