Across The Great Divide Lyrics

Standing by your window in pain

A pistol in your hand

And I beg you dear Molly, girl

Try to understand your man the best you can



Across the great divide

Just grab your hat and take that ride

Get yourself a bride

And bring your children down to the riverside



I had a goal in my younger days

I nearly wrote my will

But I changed my mind for the better

I'm at the still, had my fill

And I'm fit to kill



Across the great divide

Just grab your hat and take that ride

Get yourself a bride

And bring your children down to the riverside



Pinball machine and a queen

I nearly took a bust

I tried to keep my hands to myself

You say it's a must

But who can you trust?



Harvest moon shining down from the sky

A weary sign for all

I'm gonna leave this one horse town

Had to stall 'til the fall now I'm gonna crawl



Across the great divide



Now Molly dear don't ya shed a tear

Your time will surely come

You'll feed your man chicken every Sunday

Now tell me hun, what ya done with the gun?



Across the great divide

Just grab your hat and take that ride

Get yourself a bride

And bring your children down to the riverside
