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