My Proud Mountains
My home is Colorado with her proud mountains tall
Where the rivers like gypsies down her black canyons fall
But I'm a long, long way from Denver with a long way to go
So lend an ear to my singing, cause I'll be back no more
Well, I left as a young man not a full seventeen
With nothing for company but the wind and a dream
About all those fast ladies and living I'd find
When I left my proud mountains and rivers behind
So I rolled and I rambled like a leaf in the wind
Well, I found my fast ladies and some hard living men
Well, I sometimes went hungry with my pockets all bare
Lord, I sometimes had good luck with money to spare
Well, I made me some friends lord that I won't soon forget
Well, some are down under, some are rambling yet
Well, as for me, I'm headed for home
Back to high Colorado, never more for to roam
So friends, when my time comes, as surely it will
You just carry my body out to some lonesome hill
And lay me down easy where those cool rivers run
With only my mountains 'tween me and the sun
Well my home is Colorado
Where the rivers like gypsies down her black canyons fall
But I'm a long, long way from Denver with a long way to go
So lend an ear to my singing, cause I'll be back no more
Well, I left as a young man not a full seventeen
With nothing for company but the wind and a dream
About all those fast ladies and living I'd find
When I left my proud mountains and rivers behind
So I rolled and I rambled like a leaf in the wind
Well, I found my fast ladies and some hard living men
Well, I sometimes went hungry with my pockets all bare
Lord, I sometimes had good luck with money to spare
Well, I made me some friends lord that I won't soon forget
Well, some are down under, some are rambling yet
Well, as for me, I'm headed for home
Back to high Colorado, never more for to roam
So friends, when my time comes, as surely it will
You just carry my body out to some lonesome hill
And lay me down easy where those cool rivers run
With only my mountains 'tween me and the sun
Well my home is Colorado
