"Don't Let Me Cross Over" is a song made famous as a duet by Carl Butler and Pearl, a husband-and-wife country music duo.
Honky-tonk singer Carl Butler is best remembered for "Don't Let Me Cross Over," which Allmusic writer Jim Worbois described as a "country heartbreak song."
The first remake was recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis and his sister, Linda Gail, whose version reached No.
In 1963, for the Album Good 'n' Country, Jim Reeves recorded a solo version of "Don't Let Me Cross Over."
In 1996, Dolly Parton, who'd worked with the Butlers early in her career, included a recording of "Don't Let Me Cross Over" (with harmony vocals by Raul Malo) on Treasures, an album of covers of some of her favorite songs.
