Colorado Trail Lyrics

(Carl Sandburg/Lee Hayes)

[Chorus:]
Weep, all ye little rains. Wail, winds, wail. All along, along, along the Colorado Trail.

Eyes like the morning star, cheeks like the rose, Laura was a pretty girl everybody knows.

[Chorus]

Laura was a laughin' girl, joyful in the day. Laura was my darling girl. Now she's gone away.

[Chorus]

Sixteen years she graced the Earth and all of life was good. Now my life lies buried 'neath a cross of wood.

[Chorus]

All along, along, along the Colorado Trail.
