C. W. Mccall - Glenwood Canyon lyrics

When rivers ran blue up on the mountain

And rivers ran green out on the plain

When the river ran red in glenwood canyon

It was only a matter of time

Then rivers ran gold up on the mountain

And rivers ran wild out on the plain

And the river ran free through glenwood canyon

And it was only a matter of time

And the miners came and they took the gold and the people staked a claim

And the builders came and they made a dam and the people came to play

And the 'dozers came and they built a road and the people found a way

Through glenwood canyon

Now rivers run grey up on the mountain

And rivers brown out on the plain

And the river runs red through glenwood canyon

But it's only a matter of time
