lyrics

My love stood under a hackberry tree over the border wall,
she whispered and said she'd be true to me, over the border wall.
She has beautiful eyes and beautiful hair,
she's not very tall, so she stood in a chair,
many a time I've kissed her there, over the border wall.

Over the border wall, the sweetest girl of all,
there never were yet such eyes of jet, and you can bet I'll never forget
the night our lips in kisses met, over the border wall.

There's always a will, there's always a way, over the border wall,
there's always the night as well as the day, over the border wall.
We hadn't much money, and crossings ain't cheap,
so while the old feller was snoring asleep,
with a lad and ladder she managed to creep over the border wall.
