Girl from the North Country, conosciuta anche come Girl of the North Country,[1] è una canzone scritta da Bob Dylan. È stata pubblicata per la prima volta nell'album Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, e successivamente in Nashville Skyline, quest'ultima versione cantata in duetto con Johnny Cash. Gli album Real Live e The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration contengono due esecuzioni live della canzone. La canzone è inoltre presente nel film Il lato positivo - Silver Linings Playbook di David O. Russell.
Il brano
Dylan scrisse la canzone dopo il suo viaggio in Inghilterra nel dicembre del 1962. La canzone è ispirata alla sua ex ragazza, Echo Helstrom, che Dylan aveva conosciuto prima di trasferirsi a New York. Dylan lasciò l'Inghilterra per l'Italia dove Suze Rotolo, con la quale era allora fidanzato, stava continuando i suoi studi. La Rotolo era già ritornata negli Stati Uniti quando Dylan arrivò. È proprio in Italia che Dylan finì la canzone, apparentemente ispirata alla fine della relazione con Suze Rotolo, sebbene siano ritornati insieme quando Dylan la raggiunse a New York.[2]
Mentre era a Londra, Dylan incontrò molti esponenti della scena folk locale, tra cui Martin Carthy.
«In Inghilterra ho incontrato alcune persone che conoscono davvero quel tipo di canzoni [tradizionali inglesi]. Martin Carthy, e anche un altro che si chiama Nigel Davenport. Martin Carthy è incredibile. Ho imparato moltissimo da Martin. Girl from the North Country è ispirata a una canzone che ho sentito cantare da lui, [...] Scarborough Fair.[3]»
Musicalmente la canzone è simile a Boots of Spanish Leather, inclusa nel successivo The Times They Are a-Changin'.
Nel 2012 la versione cantata in duetto con Johnny Cash è stata inserita nella colonna sonora di Silver Linings Playbook.
