Girl Of The North Country appears on 'A Nod to Bob: An Artists' Tribute to Bob Dylan on His Sixtieth Birthday' from Red House Records, here's a link:

Another Dylan song, I like this one better than Love Minus Zero/No Limit.  Maybe it's because I live in a state next to Minnesota (Bob was born in Duluth), so I can relate to the north country setting. 

 

Listen to Girl From The North Country

 

 

Girl Of The North Country by Bob Dylan

 

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.
