Songwriter: Bob 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
She once was a true love of mine

If you're travelling in the snowflake storm
Where the rivers freeze and summer ends
See for me if she's wearing a coat that is warm
To keep her from the howlin' wind

See for me if her hair is hanging low
If it rolls and tumbles all the way to her breast
See for me if her hair is hanging low
For 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

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
For she once was a true love of mine

The Waterboys

Led by Mike Scott, the Waterboys formed in London in 1981. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Scott first became involved in music as the creator of the fanzine Jungleland and later played in a series of local punk bands. After studying English and philosophy in college, Scott moved with his band, Another Pretty Face, to London where, following the group’s breakup, he formed the Waterboys with multi-instrumentalist Anthony Thistlethwaite and Kevin Wilkinson, issuing their self-titled debut in 1983. Keyboardist Karl Wallinger and trumpeter Roddy Lorimer joined for their follow-up, A Pagan Place (1984).

After the release of their 3rd album, This Is the Sea, in 1985, Wallinger departed from the group. When the Waterboys returned in 1988 with the acclaimed Fisherman’s Blues, they were joined by fiddler Steve Wickham, keyboardist Guy Chambers, drummer Dave Ruffy and bassist Marco Weissman, a lineup that would take them to their next release, Room to Roam in 1990.

In 1991, Scott moved to New York without any of his bandmembers- reflected in 1993’s Dream Harder, a rock-oriented record that seemed to mark the end of the Waterboys’ career.
