“Girl From The North Country” shows the influence of traditional English folk music, particularly Martin Carthy’s arrangement of “Scarborough Fair”. It is also almost identical to Dylan’s later song “Boots of Spanish Leather”, from The Times They Are A-Changin'.

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
If you go when the snowflakes storm

Please see if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair's hangin' long
For that’s the way I remember her best
[Verse 4]
I’m a-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
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 5]
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
