Well, 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

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see 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 hangs long,
That's the way I remember her 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

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
