Well, 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.
Well, 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,
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.
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.
She once was a true love of mine.

Review: This is a nice, early, collectible CD of some
indispensable early '60s material. A few problems
to note are: The recordings were made directly from vinyl LPs.
There is slight (but by no means offensive) vinyl noise. The worst problem
is with the Billy Faier show. The version here was originally recorded
from broadcast on a receiver that was constantly drifting, and producing
white noise interference. It gets to be quite annoying. There are clean
versions of this great recording available. An oddity with the packaging
is that, while the material is from 1962, the photos
and artwork are from 1969. No matter, they are quite
nice. The best thing of all about this package is that the captivating
front cover photo is silk screened onto the CD
itself producing a relatively rare (in 1990) picture
CD.
Very nice.
