| Lyrics: | Nineteen and sixteen I started to roam,
Out in the West, no money, no home
I went drifting
along with the tide,
I landed on the Great Divide
Railroading on the Great
Divide,
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
There you'll find me as years go
by
Railroading on the Great Divide
A skinny old-timer from old Cheyenne
Railroading
Wyoming, the best in the land
The long steel rail, that short cross-tie,
I laid across the
Great Divide
Railroading on the Great Divide,
Nothing around me but Rockies and
sky
There you'll find me as years go by
Railroading on the Great Divide
As I look
down across the breeze,
Number Three coming, the fastest on wheels
They roll on by, she
glides with pride
And rolls across the Great Divide
Railroading on the Great
Divide,
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
There you'll find me as years go
by
Railroading on the Great Divide
A P CARTER: Sara, isn't that one you wrote
yourself?
SARA CARTER BAYES: Yes, that's one of my own |
