I'm Allegheny high Leanin' back into my ride I'm goin' 'cross the great divide Headed over yonder A trail of tears lies behind Lonesome whistle keepin' time From a train you'll never find Headed over yonder Things got wicked when she cried Long brown hair and dark green eyes No jewel could satisfy Headed over yonder The corn was low, the timber wide Always trying to provide Now where do I reside? Headed over yonder Comfort in a loaded gun Beauty in a settin' sun I'm tired but just begun Headed over yonder Roll through meadows of my kin Sittin' next to man's best friend Comin' up around the bend Headed over yonder They say I'm born again Simple 'sorry' and 'amen' I'm livin' dyin' by the pen Headed over yonder I'm Allegheny high Leanin' back into my ride I'm goin' 'cross the great divide Headed over yonder
