Where the wind's heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there she once was a true love of mine
If you go to the snowflakes storm where the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see she has a coat so warm to keep her from the howling wind
[ banjo ]
Please see if her hair hangs long if it tose and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair's hangin' long that's
the way I remember her best
If you're traveling...
She once was a true love of mine
