Girl from the North Country

Bob Dylan y Johnny Cash

Bob Dylan compuso Girl from the North Country después de su primer viaje a Inglaterra en Diciembre de 1962, y el disco salió en 1963. Posteriormente, en 1969, cantaría esta versión junto al cantante y compositor de música country Johnny Cash, modificando un poco la letra:

Girl from the North Country

[Dylan:]
If you're traveling in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there,
For she once was a true love of mine.

[Cash:]
See for me that her hair's hangin' long,
It curls and falls all down her breast.
See for me that her hair's hangin' long,
That's the way I remember her best.

[Dylan:]
If you go when the snowflakes fall,
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.

[Both:]
If you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there,
For she once was a true love of mine.

[Instrumental break.]

If you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there,
(For) She once was a true love of mine.

[Dylan:] True love of mine.
[Cash:] A true love of mine.
[Dylan:] True love of mine.
[Cash:] True love of mine.
[Both:] True love of mine.

He decidido añadir la versión original de Bob Dylan cantando él solo. Y la letra:

Girl from the North Country

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.

If you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she has a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair's hanging long,
For that's the way I remember her best.

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.
