Down Where the Trail Divides

A popular western song from 1914.
Seems patterned after Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1913).

Lyrics

  1. ‘Mong the Blue Hills of Kentucky
    Where the fragrant roses grow
    In a little old log cabin
    Where Kentucky river flows
    Dwells a pretty village maiden
    Who is soon to be my bride
    She is waiting in that cabin home
    Down where the trail divides

Chorus
In the Blue Hills of Kentucky
Down where the trail divides
I am waiting for the happy day
When Sue will be my bride
We will have the ceremony
In the pale moon tide
In the Blue Hills of Kentucky
Down where the trail divides

  1. When the day of work is over
    And the birds are gone to rest
    When the twilight softly gathers
    ‘Round the cabin I love best
    Then you’ll hear the church bells ringing
    And Miss Sue will be my bride
    We will live a life of honey moons
    Down where the trail divides
