Tried to keep my hands to myself, you say it's a must
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river side
Now I'm gonna crawl, across The Great Divide
Your time will surely come, you'll feed your man chicken every Sunday
But I changed my mind for the better
Across The Great Divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
Pinball machine, and a Queen, I nearly took a bust
Now tell me, hon, what you done with the gun
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river side
Across The Great Divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky, a weary sign for all
But who can you trust?
Try and understand your man the best you can
I had a goal in my younger days, I nearly wrote my will
I'm gonna leave this one horse town, had to stall till the fall
Across The Great Divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill
Now Molly dear, don't you shed a tear
