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