"Railroading On The Great Divide" lyrics - THE CARTER FAMILY

[Not recorder by the original Carters, but written by Sara aftwer they broke up]

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

[Instrumental break]

As any old-timer from old Cheyenne
Railroading Wyoming, the best in the land
The long steel rails, the short crossties
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

[Instrumental break]

As I looked out across the breeze
Number three coming, the fastest on wheels
Through old Laramie 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
