Well I can tell you all this song is written about the North Country HA...okay no one gets that joke, ya'll are gonna think I'm being dumb, let me explain.
Northern New York.
It's called the North Country.
How do I know? This is where I'm from.
Why am I saying that? Our fair was a BIG DEAL back in the day...so on so forth. Plus if you were actually from here you'd know just from the lyrics. So I take it as he took the idea for the song from Scaraborough Fair and wrote it about a girl from the North Country instead!
Everytime I listen to this song, I wish it wasn't right now and it was back then before our fair failed. It's going on right now. People are shocked because they have Randy Travis and they sold out.
To think, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, ZZ Top, CCR, Bob Dylan, ETC ETC ETC used to come here and play and this wasn't something strange....
Okay, sorry. Completely off track.
Anyway, besides that, it's pretty obvious what this song is about....it's plainly written, in a very lovely manner.

@motivatedsoup I am also from the North Country and have had the same exact thought about the same year. Weird or not?
