Push and Pull

PUSH AND PULL

©David Walburn 1999

VERSE

The winters over and it’s time to go

You gotta pick of the ice, shake off the cold

Put away your fiddle boys the dancings done

VERSE

It’s back to work all you frontier men

We’re heading for the brink and back again

We’ll find out who’s got heart and who’s got none

VERSE

It’s heave ho, Push and Pull

The mighty Missouri wants to make us fools

But we’re gonna win this war and let me tell you why

VERSE

We’re gonna fight this river until its bitter end

Quench our thirst from where it first begins

One day, somewhere up on the Great Divide

CHORUS

Heave Ho, Push and Pull

Heave Ho,

Heave Ho, Push and Pull

VERSE

Now the Indian said friend you better beware

There’s an evil spirit we call the Grizzly Bear

And he won’t like it you cutting across his land

VERSE

And this river gets swift and the mountains high

A few have gone but most of them died

But I dreamed of your return said the medicine man

VERSE

It’s heave ho, Push and Pull

The mighty Missouri wants to make us fools

But we’re gonna win this war and let me tell you why

VERSE

We’re gonna fight this river until its bitter end

Quench our thirst from where it first begins

One day, somewhere up on the Great Divide

CHORUS (Repeat)
