COLORADO TRAIL
Eyes like a morning star
Cheeks like a rose
Laura was a pretty girl
Everybody knows
Weep all you little rains
Wail, winds, wail
All along, along along
The Colorado trail
Saddle up my dapple-gray
The sky still red with dawn
Keep a steady pace all day
Singing my sweet song
Riding through the purple hills
Just like Roy and Dale
All along, along along
The Colorado trail.
I'm going to find a silver mine
Then I'll stake my claim
Send it all to Laura
Shower her like rain
Hurry back on home to her
Speeding o'er the rail
All along, along along
The Colorado trail.
