If you're travellin' in the North Country fair.
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline.
Remember me to one who lives there.
For she was once a true love of mine.
If you go where the snowflakes fall.
The rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she's wearing a coat sow warm.
To keep her from the howling winds.
Please see for me that her hair's hanging down.
Her golden curls roll down her breast.
Please see for me that her hair's hanging down.
Cause that's the way I remember her best.
So if you're travellin' in the North Country fair.
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline.
Remember me to one who lives there.
For she was once a true love of mine.
Wondrin' if she remembers at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
So if you're travellin' in the North Country fair.
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline.
Remember me to one who lives there.
(one strum each, sing slowly)
For she was once a true love of mine.
Repeat progression, Johnny and Bob harmonize on the following words,
over the chords, repeating as necessary.
True love of mine(True love of mine)
True love of mine(True love of mine)
True love of mine(True love of mine)
True love of mine(True love of mine)
She was once a true love of mine.
