North Wind

Charley Pride · Pride of America [RCA Victor] [1974]

(Bob Morris)



Well, once I met a pretty little girl

And she was fair to see

I fell in love with a pretty little girl

She fell in love with me.



I kissed her on her dimpled chin

While stars in heaven did play

But along come a howl in that old north wind

And carried her away.



North wind, north wind

Bring my baby back again

North wind, where did she go

Nobody but you will ever know.



It seems I hear her calling me

And when I answer back

I find it's just that old north wind

A whistlin' round my shack.



Each night before I go to sleep

Down on my knees I pray

That the old north wind come a howlin' by

And carry me away.



North wind, north wind

Bring my baby back again

North wind, where did she go

Nobody but you will ever know...
