Girl From The North Country
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the wind stands heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling 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
For that's the way I remember her best
I wonder if she remembers me at all
Day and night I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
And in the brightness of my day
