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 are on the ground

This crazy feeling hangin' 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 justto 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

So if you're heading back to the

north country

WIth the sunset in your eye

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.
