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
And the springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Ol' Charlie, he sold out, lost everything
A '52 Chevy and a Navajo ring
Busted, flat broke, and split open wide
And the springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Well, my granddaddy died here in 1903
He left his old shotgun my daddy gave me
I hope there's some place we can all rope and ride
'Cause the springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Well, that grave on the hillside is long overgrown
Been 22 years since I gathered stones
And 22 more since I made her my bride
And the springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Now the coal company man wants to eat up your coal
First to swallow your cattle, and then he'll swallow your soul
He'll dig you a grave 'bout ten acres wide
And the springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
The springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
Yes, the springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
The springtime's a-comin' up on the divide
