Colorado Trail As sung by Boyce Davis, Lincoln, Arkansas on February 29, 1968 from the Max Hunter Folksong Collection

COLORADO TRAIL

Eyes like a morn'n star
Cheeks like a rose
Laura was a pretty girl
God Almighty knows
Weep on ye little rains
Wail winds, wail
All along, along, along,
The Colorado Trail

Sixteen years my Laura lived
And her life was good
Now, she lies a sleep'n here
Beneath a cross of wood
Weep on ye little rains
Wail, winds, wail
All along, along, along
Th Colorado Trail

Have you ever been in love
Have you felt th pain
I'd rather die in a lonesome jail
Then fall in love again
Weep on ye little rains
Wail, winds, wail
All along, along, along
Th Colorado Trail

Stars sink'in in th west
Days gonn'a break
Sun will be a rise'n soon
Everything will wait
Weep on ye little rains
Wail winds, wail
All along, along, along
Th Colorado Trail
