I posted this song quite some time ago (more than 5 years). I'm posting again because the video link at the old posting "rotted" (the so-called "link-rot" problem that long-lived blogs have), and anyway I never posted the lyrics in that old posting. It's one of my favorites by Dylan.
Bob Dylan (with Johnny Cash), "Girl From The North Country."
Lyrics.
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's wearing a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' 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 hangs 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
[daily log: walking, 7km]
