North Of The Border

North Of The Border (Larry W Jones 05/14/2020) (song #7706)Why why why why do cowboys cryNorth of the border, up Abilene way That’s where this cowboy rode To a railroad to draw my pay On long trails I wandered A love came my way North of the border, up Abilene wayI met a cowgirl in old Abilene Sweet was her gentle smile I stayed awhile to view the scene Her name was Vanessa and asked me to stay North of the border, up Abilene wayClose to my ear she whispered, tomorrow Cowboy please come and hear my love song But she cried as I told her in sorrow Down a trail I must ride aloneNorth of the border, I returned in May There in the pale moonlight Her eyes were bright as I heard her say To a new cowboy I’ll love you always North of the border, up Abilene wayWhy why why why, do cowboys cry Why why why why, I said goodbyeNorth of the border, up Abilene way Hosted on Acast.
