The boys from north dakota   They drink whisky for their fun   And the cowboys down in texas   They polish up their guns   And they look across the border   To learn the ways of love      If you love me, say I love you   If you love me, say I do   If you love me, say I love you   If you love me, say I do   And you can say I love you   And you can say I do      So I drank myself some whisky   And I dreamed I was a cowboy   And I rode across the border      If you love me, say I love you   If you love me, take my hand   If you love me, say I love you   If you love me, take my hand   And you can say I love you   And you can have my hand      I remember in the mornings   Waking up   With your arms around my head   You told me you can sleep forever   And I'll still hold you then      Now the weather's getting colder   It's even cold down here   And the words that you have told me   Hang frozen in the air   And sometimes I look right through them   As if they were not there      And the boys from north dakota   They drink whisky for their fun   And the cowboys down in texas   They polish up their guns   And they look across the border   To learn the ways of love
