If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the wind hits heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

If you go where the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and the summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howling winds

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

I'm wondering 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 traveling in the north country fair
Where the wind hits heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

Neil Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He is easily recognizably for his distinct tenor voice, making him a near-polar opposite of his Canadian folk contemporary, the baritone Leonard Cohen, although they both share a dense and idiosyncratic sense of lyricism.

Young has released an album almost every year since 1969 with his eponymous debut album and most recently The Visitor, released in 2017. In between, he’s done collaborative albums with Pearl Jam and Crazy Horse (later being dubbed “The Godfather of Grunge”), brought his profound lyricism to the Simon and Garfunkel-esque harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, who, according to legend, he performed with at Woodstock, and even did autotune way before Kanye.

Young is one of the few people to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as himself and once with his psychedelic rock band Buffalo Springfield which he co-founded in 1966 along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay after illegally emigrating to Los Angeles.
