Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Telluride lyrics

Now the girls in Telluride do it like this

cross their fingers when they kiss you

don't say nothing behind your back

and they don't take nothin' that they don't give back

take the gold into Telluride

Work all winter in the Tomboy Mine

dreamin' of what we'll do

when the snow finally ends

and the spring breaks through

we'll load up the wagon & set the little one by our side

take the gold into Telluride

I'd like to lay you down on a cannonball bed

put a soft feather pillow down by your head

intertwine flowers into a maiden's veil

wake you in the morning

now she's wailing take the gold into Telluride

ain't nothing'll stop an avalanche when it's sliding

once the wagon starts to roll, you can't turn the mule and the brakes don't hold;

you end up in the valley with the little one by your side

Take the gold into Telluride.

lace curtains for the windows,

dreams torn from a catalog page.

we may wander where the wind blows

you change your views but our love won't change

she gonna climb you high on top of a hill

fall asleep laughing with the whipporwill

intertwined flowers in the matrons ring

wake you in the morning

now she's singing take the gold into Telluride

I loved my winter with a teenage bride

dreamin of what we'll do

when the snow finally ends

and the spring breaks through

we'll load up the wagon, set the little one by our side

take the gold into Telluride

take the gold into Telluride
