Down by the banks of the Colorado
|
My true love and I one night did lie
|
And we laughed and played and made fun
|
Of the entire world spinning 'round the sun
|
Down by the banks of the Colorado
|
|
Up from the banks of the Colorado
|
Nightwatchmen stood guard 'round the wagon yard
|
And I took a pillar for a sign
|
That the salt of the earth was surely mine
|
Up from the banks of the Colorado
|
|
There is another Colorado
|
Wise have told me, wise women too
|
That I may find sweet El Dorado
|
Down by the banks of one sweet Colorado
|
|
Down by the banks of the Colorado
|
The years flowed softly before my eyes
|
And the circus joined me in my quest
|
And stayed with me throughout my test
|
Down by the banks of the Colorado
|
|
There is another Colorado
|
Wise men have told me, wise women too
|
That I may find my sweet El Dorado
|
Down by the banks of one sweet Colorado
|
|

Another Colorado
