North Of The Border (Larry W Jones 05/14/2020) (song #7706)
Why why why why do cowboys cry
North 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 way
I 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 way
Close 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 alone
North 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 way
Why why why why, do cowboys cry
Why why why why, I said goodbye
North of the border, up Abilene way
