Girl From The North Country

In 1963, Bob Dylan was in England collecting old English and Northumbrian folk songs. Lyrics and some melodies were borrowed to create this song of a man asking a friend to look for a girl he had known and describing her and wondering if she remembers him. Simon & Garfunkel’s Scarborough Fair borrowed some of those same lyrics. Dylan told several girls that they were the inspiration for this song. He once said that girls like to be thought of as an inspiration for a song. Sure, Bob.
