Banks of the Colorado
Jimmie Dale Gilmore

C
Down by the banks of the Colorado
                                                           Am
My true love and I, one night did lie.
                                      C
And we laughed and played and made fun
                                                                   Am
of the entire world spinnin' round the sun
                                                  C
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.

chorus:

                    F                 C
There is another Colorado
                            F                                     C
wise men have told me, wise women, too.
                    F                             C
that I have found sweet Eldorado
                                       G                           C
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
