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
