I'm heading back
to the north country
With the cold wind in my eyes
I'll be there by sunset
Before the first snow flies
Rustlin' leaves
are on the ground
This crazy feeling headin' round
I'll remember now and then
But don't ask when
I'll be back again
Had this dream late one night
'Bout working on
the gang of the
Mull River drive
Danny, me and Freddie Wright
Making a dollar a
day just to stay
alive .
Rustlin' leaves
on the ground
A cold rain coming down
Sleeping there on
the dark, damp earth
For what it's worth
no reason can be found
no it can't be found
So if you're passing though
the North Country
With the sunset in your eyes
You may find me on the
rocky shore, of that lonely isle
Rustlin' leaves on the ground
A cold hard rain coming down
Sleeping there on
the dark, damp earth
For what it's worth, no reason
can be found
I'm heading back
to the north country
With the cold wind in my eye
I'll be there by sunset
Before the first snow flies
Rustlin' leaves on the ground
A cold hard rain coming down
I'll remember now and then
But don't ask when
I'll be back again
Rustlin' leaves on the ground
A cold hard rain coming down
I'll remember now and then
But don't ask when
I'll be back again
I'll be back again
