EF#m Baby don't fall in love with me
BE I'll only bring you grief
EF#m Baby, don't set your heart on me
BE I'll only have to leave
 [Chorus] 
EAE 'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
EAE Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
C#mF# In the morning I'll have to leave again
A That's how it is when you ...

BE I hardly knew his face
EF#m Momma, she cried for him at night
BE He never stayed in one place

EAE 'Cause the north wind flows through my veins
EAE Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
C#mF# In the morning I'll have to leave again
A That's how it is when you ...

EAE Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
C#mF# In the morning I'll have to leave again
