Ripping up the Boundary Line, oh, line
I’m ripping up the Boundary Line
The best job of work that I had in my time
Was ripping up the Boundary Line

Plowing down the Boundary Line, oh, line
I’m plowing down the Boundary Line
It eases my soul, it eases my mind
Plowing down the Boundary Line

Boundary Line, Dividing Line
You just ain’t no friend of mine
You’re keeping my people apart all the time
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line

Cutting down the Boundary Line, oh, line
I’m cutting down the Boundary Line
The finest of jobs that I ever did find
Was cutting down the Boundary Line

Whacking down the Boundary Line, oh, line
I’m whacking down the Boundary Line
You’ve gotta come help if you’re a friend of mine
‘Cause we’re whacking down the Boundary Line

Boundary Line, Dividing Line
You just ain’t no friend of mine
You’re keeping my people apart all the time
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line

Boundary Line, Dividing Line
You just ain’t no friend of mine
You’re keeping my people apart all the time
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line

Ripping up the Boundary Line, oh, line
I’m ripping up the Boundary Line
The best job of work that I had in my time
Was ripping up the Boundary Line

Boundary Line, Dividing Line
You just ain’t no friend of mine
You’re keeping my people apart all the time
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line

Boundary Line, Dividing Line
You just ain’t no friend of mine
You’re keeping my people apart all the time
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line
Bye bye bye, oh, Boundary Line
