Where The Winds Hit Heavy On The Borderline


if you're traveling 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


if you go when the snowflakes storm
when the rivers freeze and summer ends
please see she has a coat so warm
to keep her from the howling winds


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'm wondering if she remembers me at all
many times i've often prayed
in the darkness of my night
in the brightness of my day


Altan: Girl from the North Country



so if you're traveling 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
