Go cinch up the saddle, ol Dunny and me Gonna drive up the cattle where the snow used to be I ain't much for nothin, but still I can ride And the springtime's a-comin Up on the divide, Springtime's a-comin up on the divide Ol Charlie he sold out and he lost everything A fifty-two Chevy and a Navajo ring Busted flat broken and split open wide And the springtime's a-comin On the divide, Springtime's a-comin up on the divide The grave on the hillside is long overgrown Been twenty-two years since I gathered stones Twenty-two more since I made her my bride And the springtime's a-comin On the divide, Springtime's a-comin up on the divide My granddaddy died here in nineteen and three And he gave up this gun that my daddy gave me I'm hopin there's somewhere we can all rope and ride And the springtime's a-comin On the divide, Springtime's a-comin up on the divide The coal company man wants to eat up your coal He'll swallow your cattle, then he'll swallow your soul He'll dig you a grave about ten acres wide And the springtime's a-comin Up on the divide, The springtime's a-comin up on the divide Springtime's a-comin on the divide Springtime's a-comin up on the divide
