Pete Townshend - North Country Girl lyrics

rate me

When you travel to the green hills of Ayr

Where the sea breaks windows on the border line.

Remember me to a girl who lives there

For she once was a true love of mine.

Please see for me that her red hair is long

And flows and curls down to her back and breast.

Please see for me that her red hair is long

For that's the way I remember her best

North Country girl..........

See that she's warm when the summer ends

When trees are bare and the rivers freeze

She washes her clothes where the river bends

She's working on her knees

See for me that her coat's pulled up close,

And her beret frames her sweet pretty face.

See that she's warm and drink her a toast

For I am exiled in a lonely place.

Please let me know if she remembers me at all,

A hundred times I've hoped and prayed

That way up there near the Roman wall

She didn't suffer when the fall sprayed.

North Country girl.
