Lucy Kaplansky When I Get To The Border by Richard Thompson E Dirty people take what's mine B I can leave them all behind E B C#m E They can never cross that line A B E When I get to the Border E Sawbones standing at the door B Waiting 'til I hit the floor E B C#m E They won't find me anymore A B E When I get to the Border B Monday morning, monday morning Closing in on me B B/Bb G#m I'm packing up and running away E F# B To where nobody picks on me E If you see a box of pine B With a name that looks like mine. E B C#m E Say I drowned in a barrel of wine. A B E When I got to the Border SOLO E A one way ticket's in my hand B Heading for the chosen land E B C#m E My troubles will all turn to sand A B E When I get to the Border E Salty boy with yellow hair B Waiting in that rocking chair E B C#m E And if I'm weary I won't care A B E When I get to the Border B Monday morning, monday morning Closing in on me B B/Bb G#m I'm packing up and running away E F# B To where nobody picks on me E Dusty road will smell so sweet B Paved with gold beneath my feet E B C#m E And I'll be dancing down the street A B E When I get to the Border E B C#m E And I'll be dancing down the street A B E  When I get to the Border A B E When I get to the Border A B E When I get to the Border From Lucy Kaplansky The Tide CD Red House Records 1994 Warlock Music Ltd BMI 1974
