She'll Never Be Mine
Sung by Rosalie Sorrels
Strangers In Another Country
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of C
C F
"My love is a river where the white waters pour /
C
I've hunted and trapped her through the Gates of Ladore. /
F
She sings through a curtain of cold mountain rain /
G7 C
Where I dug her bright silver in the high Coeur d'Alene.
Chorus 1:
C F
She'll never be mine / She'll never be mine /
C
I won all her treasures so simple and fine /
C G7 C
I guess she'll never be mine
My love is a cantina
Where I drink with my friends
I have called her Delores
I have called her Cheyenne
I have followed her beggin' all over the West
My love is a headlight on the midnight express
But she'll never be mine
She'll never be mine
I won all her treasures
So simple and so fine
But she'll never be mine
She'll never be mine
My love is Montana and it's high douglas fir
Many long years I've labored for her
My love is the long rows of dry autumn corn
Oh they grown on land where my children were born
Chorus:
I know she'll never be mine
I know she'll never be mine
I won all her treasures
So simple and so fine
I guess she'll never be mine
My love is like a boomer on a lead
Shame her with lies, and trap her with greed
My love is a dreamer, I'll follow the dream
Some say she's a beggar, I say she's a queen
I know someday she'll be mine
I know someday she'll be mine
I won all her treasures
So simple and so fine
I know someday she'll be mine
I know someday she'll be mine
