Biography:

The Rankin Family is a Canadian folk music family group from Mabou, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

The Rankins come from a family of 12, all of whom would entertain the neighbours musically every third weekend as part of a ceilidh.

Five of the siblings began performing professionally in 1989. The Rankins released their own independent cassettes The Rankin Family (1989) and Fare Thee Well Love (1990) featuring original songs and a combination of traditional jigs, reels and Celtic folk songs.

North Country Rankin Family
[Capo- fret 5]

[G]I'm heading back to the North Country
With the [F]cold wind [C]in my [G]eyes
[G]I'll be there by sunset
[F]Before the [C]first snow [G]flies - [C,D]

Chorus 1: [F]Rustle the leaves on the [C]ground
[C]This crazy feelin' hangin' [G]round - [C,G]
[F]I'll be remember now and [C]then
[Am]But don't ask when [Em]I'll be back a[F]gain - [C]-[G]

[G]Had this dream late one night
'Bout [F]working with the [C]gang at the Mull [G]River drive
[G]Danny, me and Freddy Wright making [F]a dollar a [C]day
Just to stay [G]alive. - [C,G]

Chorus 2: [F]Rustle the leaves on the [C]ground
[C]Cold hard rain comin [G]down - [C,G]
[F]Sleeping there on the dark damp [C]earth
[Am]For what it's worth, [Em]no reason can be [F]found-[C]
No, it can't be[G] found

[G]So if you're passing through the North Country
With the [F]sunset in [C]your [G]eyes
[G]You may find me on the rocky shore
[F]Of that [C]lonely [G]Isle. - [C,G]

Chorus 2

[G]I'm heading back to the North Country
With the [F]cold wind in [C]my [G]eyes
[G]I'll be there by sunset
[F]Before the [C]first snow [G]flies - [C,G]

Chorus 1
Chorus 2
....I'll be back again
