Across The Great Divide

Standin by your window in pain

A pistol in your hand

And I beg you, dear Molly, girl

Try and understand your man the best you can.

[00:56.40][00:23.15]Across The Great Divide,

[00:25.62]Just grab your hat, and take that ride

[00:30.64]Get yourself a bride

[00:34.46]And bring your children down to the river side

I had a goal in my younger days

I nearly wrote my will

But I changed my mind for the better

I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill

Pinball machine, and a queen

I nearly took a bust

Tried to keep my hands to myself

Ya say it's a must, but who can ya trust?

Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky

A weary sign for all

I'm gonna leave this one horse town

Hadn't stall till the fall, now I'm gonna crawl!

Now Molly dear, don't ya shed a tear

Your time will surely come

you'll feed your man chicken every Sunday

Now tell me, hon, what-cha done 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 river side.
