Verse 1

                           A     E
If you’re traveling in the north country fair
                                 A         E
Where the wind blows cold on the borderline
         E7    A           E
Remember me to the one who lives there
                   A         E
For she once was a true love of mine.

Verse 2

                          A         E
Well if you’re going in a snowflake storm
                            A       E
Where the rivers freeze and summers end
                            A    E
Will you see that she has a coat so warm
                        A       E
To protect her from the howling wind.

Verse 3

                         A    E
Please see for me if her hair hangs low
                      A      E
And flows in ringlets ’round her breasts
                         A    E
Please see for me if her hair hangs low
                     A        E
For that’s the way I remember her best.

Verse 4

                        A           E
Well I wonder if she’ll remember me you know
                A     E
Many times I’ve often prayed
                 A  E
In the stillness of my night
                  A  E
In the brightness of my day.
