If you re travelin 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.
When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
And I lay in tears in bed all night
Alone without you by my side
We had our day but now it s over
we had our song but now it s sung
we had our stroll through summers clover
but summer s gone now, our walkin s done
But if you loved me
Why d ya leave me
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I ll find somebody
Her eyes and words are so icy
Oh but she burns
Like rum on the fire
The way she tells me I m hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
So tell me gently who be your lover
who be your lover after I m gone
will it be the moon that hears your sighin
will it be the willow that hears your lonesome song
But if you loved me
Why d ya leave me
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is
And all I need is
To find somebody
I ll find somebody
Her fight and fury is fiery
Oh but she loved
Like sleep to the freezing
The way she showed me I m hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
I m a-wonderin if she remembers me at all.
Many times I ve often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.
So if you re travelin 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.
