Girl from the North Country

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

See for me that her hair’s hangin’ down
It curls and falls all down her breast
See for me that her hair’s hangin’ down
That’s the way I remember her best

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 howling 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
For she once was 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 the one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

A true love of mine (a true love of mine)
A true love of mine (a true love of mine)
A true love of mine (a true love of mine)
She once was a true love of mine
-Written and performed by Bob Dylan

I’m not a big fan of Bob Dylan by any stretch of the imagination. But he was a brilliant songwriter and this is one of my favorite songs he wrote.

But Thursdays are for flowers. This flowertography session took place in my yard:

Next week’s flowertography session will also take place in my yard.
