CROSS THE BORDERLINE
Recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker
[D]There ain't nothin' in the world
that can [G]take away my memor[Em]ies
Of my t[A]ravels through the great northwestern
[G]Mountain scen[D]ery
[D]With my woman by my side
With her [G]lips like cherry [Em]wine
She [A]kissed me, said she loved me
As we [G]crossed the border[D]line.
CHORUS
[D]Don't you fly a[G]way - eee - eee - [D]eee woman of mine
[A]Don't you fade away; [D]don't you be that kind
[D]Don't you fly a[G]way - eee - eee - [D]eee woman of mine
[A]Tell me that you love me
As we [G]crossed the border[D]line.
verse 2
If you're ever in Alaska,
Take a message to my friend
That the glamor of the city life
Is as empty as the wind
It'll steal away love's joy;
It'll drive a heart stone blind
Makes a cold Alaskan winter
Seem like something warm and fine.
Repeat Chorus
Oh, tell me how you love me as we cross that borderline.
(Yodel)
