Girl from the North Country

$3.00

This haunting arrangement of Bob Dylan’s Girl From the North Country evokes the desolate beauty of a Minnesota winter, with its sparse yet layered vocal ostinato creating a hypnotic, windswept soundscape. Bittersweet and intimate, the piece also offers a poignant platform for a soloist or singer-songwriter to shine.

Poet/Lyricist: Bob Dylan

Available Voicing: SSAA or TTBB a cappella

If you’re trav’lin’ 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’s wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin’ winds.

I’m wond’rin’ if she remembers me at all
Many times I’ve often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day.

If you’re trav’lin’ 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.

-Bob Dylan
