Down By The Borderline Way down on the borderline Down where white folks tread easy That sun beats so hot sun beats so hot When a little girl pass by You can smell the way she walks You can smell, you can smell the way she walks In late afternoon Ah, in late Little girl little girl little girl Smile so brightly Come on boy come on boy Oh take a walk with me Tim Buckley Tim Buckley Music ASCAP Released 1970 Straight/Warner Records - “Starsailor” Running time 5:22
