Are heading north beyond the border

Like to carry me away

When the grey and seasoned cowboys 
          G               D 
Drive the cattle to the alpine

To that high and windy summer range 
      A7 
Where God chose to be

Through the field down by the river 
       G                 A7      D 
I will lay within my true loves arms
