Railroading On The Great Divide - The Carter Family

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
