Go [4] cinch up the [1] saddle ol' [5] Dunny and [1] me
We'll [4] drive up the [1] cattle where the [5] snows used to be
I [4] ain't much for [1] nothin' but [5] still I can [6m] ride
And the [4] Spring time's a-[1]-comin' up [5] on the [1] divide
[4] Spring time's a-[1]-comin' up [5] on the [1] divide

Ol' Charlie he sold out lost everything
A '52 Chevy and a Navajo ring
Busted flat broke and split open wide
And the Spring time's a-comin' up on the divide
Spring time's a-comin' up on the divide

Well my granddaddy died here in nineteen and three
He left his old shotgun my daddy gave me
I hope there's some place we can all rope and ride
'Cause the Spring time's a-comin' up on the divide
Spring time'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 about ten acres wide
And the Spring time's a-comin' up on the divide
Spring time's a-comin' up on the divide

Yes the Spring time's a-comin' up on the divide
Spring time's a-comin' up on the divide
