Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go cinch up the saddle, ol' Dunny and me
We'll drive up the cattle where the snows used to be
I ain't much for nothin', but still I can ride
[Refrain]
And the springtime's a-comin up on the divide
Springtime's a-comin up on the divide
[Verse 2]
Ol' Charlie, he sold out, he lost everything
A '52 Chevy and a Navajo ring
Busted, flat broken and split open wide
[Refrain]
And the springtime's a-comin up on the divide
Springtime's a-comin up on the divide
[Instrumental]
Well, my granddaddy died here in nineteen and three
He left his old shotgun my daddy gave me
I hope there's someplace we can all rope and ride
[Refrain]
'Cause the springtime's a-comin on the divide
Springtime's a-comin up on the divide
[Verse 3]
Well, that grave on the hillside is long overgrown
Been twenty-two years since I gathered stones
And twenty-two more since I made her my bride
[Refrain]
And the springtime's a-comin up on the divide
Springtime's a-comin up on the divide
[Instrumental]
Now the coal company man wants to eat up your coal
First he'll swallow your cattle and then he'll swallow your soul
He'll dig you a grave 'bout ten acres wide
[Refrain]
And the springtime's a-comin up on the divide
The springtime's a-comin up on the divide
[Outro]
Yes, the springtime's a-comin on the divide
Springtime's a-comin up on the divide
