I'm heading back to the north country
With the cold wind in my eye
I'll be there by sunset
Before the first snow flies
Rustlin' leaves are on the ground
This crazy feeling hangin' round
I'll remember now and then
But don't ask when I'll be back again
Had this dream late one night
'Bout working on the gang of the
Mull River drive
Danny, me and Freddie Wright
Making a dollar a day justto stay
alive
Rustlin' leaves on the ground
A cold rain coming down
Sleeping there on the dark, damp earth
For what it's worth
no reason can be found
So if you're heading back to the
north country
WIth the sunset in your eye
You may find me on the rocky shore
of that lonely isle
Rustlin' leaves on the ground
A cold hard rain coming down
Sleeping there on the dark, damp earth
For what it's worth, no reason
can be found
I'm heading back to the north country
With the cold wind in my eye
I'll be there by sunset
Before the first snow flies
Rustlin' leaves on the ground
A cold hard rain coming down
I'll remember now and then
But don't ask when I'll be back again
Rustlin' leaves on the ground
A cold hard rain coming down
I'll remember now and then
But don't ask when I'll be back again
I'll be back again.
