If you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
Oh she once was a true love of mine
See for me if her hair's hanging down
It curls and falls all down her breast
See for me that her hair's hanging down
That's the way I remember her best
If you go when the snowflakes falls
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me if she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds
If you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Please say "hello" to the one who lives there
Oh she was once a true love of mine
If you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
Oh she once was a true love of mine
A true love of mine
A true love of mine
True love of mine
A true love of mine
A true love of mine
She was once a true love of mine
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
Oh she once was a true love of mine
See for me if her hair's hanging down
It curls and falls all down her breast
See for me that her hair's hanging down
That's the way I remember her best
If you go when the snowflakes falls
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me if she's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds
If you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Please say "hello" to the one who lives there
Oh she was once a true love of mine
If you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
Oh she once was a true love of mine
A true love of mine
A true love of mine
True love of mine
A true love of mine
A true love of mine
She was once a true love of mine

I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
I been shootin' in the dark too long
When something's not right, it's wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It always has hit me from below
But this time 'round, it's more correct
Right on, target so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne lace
Crimson hair across your face
You can make me cry, but you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinking of
You might be spoiling me too much love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
Blue river running slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever and never realize the time
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's
But there's no way I can compare
All them scenes to this affair
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing
Staying far behind without you
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to
I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco or Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me, now I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass in the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
I been shootin' in the dark too long
When something's not right, it's wrong
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It always has hit me from below
But this time 'round, it's more correct
Right on, target so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne lace
Crimson hair across your face
You can make me cry, but you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinking of
You might be spoiling me too much love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
Blue river running slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever and never realize the time
Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

I don't think this studio version with Pops and Mavis Staples will ever be topped. Pure beauty and nostalgia. For anyone who hitchhiked or rode motorcycles across North America, this tune and this version is tantamount to a spiritual hymn.
