ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE

Standing by your window in pain Pistol in your hand And I begged you dear Molly girl Try and understand your friend The best you can Across the great divide Just grab your hat and take that ride Get yourself a bride And bring your children down to the riverside I had a goal in my younger days And nearly wrote my will But I changed my mind For the better And at the still had my fill And I took her kill Across the great divide Just grab your hat and take that ride Get yourself a bride And bring your children down to the riverside In moments she had a queen I nearly took a bus Tried to keep my hands to myself You say it's a must But who can you trust Harvest moon shining down from the sky A weary sign for the Lord I'm going to leave this one-horse town Had to stall till the face Now I'm going to the great divide Now morning tears don't you share the tears Your time will surely come You treat your man to chicken every Sunday Now tell me hon, what you did with the gun Across the great divide Just grab your hat and take that ride Get yourself a bride And bring your children down to the riverside
