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 spinnin' round the sun
down by the banks of the Colorado.
Up from the banks of the Colorado,
night watchmen stood guard, round the wagon yard
and I took a pillar as a sign
that the salt of the earth would soon be mine
up from the banks of the Colorado.
There is another Colorado
wise men have told me, wise women, too.
that I have found sweet Eldorado
down by the banks of one sweet Colorado.
Down by the banks of Colorado
the years flowed softly before my eyes.
And a circus joined me in my quest
and stood with me throughout my test
down by the banks of the Colorado
chorus, solo and out
