Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Another Colorado lyrics

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
