North Country Fair

from No Strangers Here by SixMileBridge

/

about

You can draw a line directly from an 18th century Anglo folk song to Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" to Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" to my adaptation and additional lyrics in "North Country Fair"

lyrics

if you’re travelling to the north country fair
where the wind blows heavy on the borderline
remember me to the one who lives there
for she once was a true love of mine

see for me that her hair’s hangin long
that her crimson curls fall down her breast
see for me that her hair’s hangin long
for that’s the way I remember her best

please see for me she has a cloak so warm
that it wraps around her up around her chin
please see for me she has a cloak so warm
to keep her from the howling wind

please see for me that her room is dry
that the peat is plenty and the fire is bright
please see for me that her room is dry
to keep her from the freezing night
