  			D 
There ain't nothin' in the world 
         G                 Em 
that can take away my memories 
       A 
Of my travels through the great northwestern 
G            D 
Mountain scenery 
D 
With my woman by my side 
         G                Em 
With her lips like cherry wine 
    A 
She kissed me, said she loved me 
      G                 D 
As we crossed the borderline. 

D              G                 D 
Don't you fly away - eee - eee - eee woman of mine 
A                    D 
Don't you fade away; don't you be that kind 
D              G                 D 
Don't you fly away - eee - eee - eee woman of mine 
A 
Tell me that you love me 
      G                 D 
As we crossed the borderline. 
 
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)
