Wild Mountain Rose

Where the high mountain sky meets the ridge line
And the silver lupine grows
Lives a flower rare and divine
She's my Wild Mountain Rose
Cowboys from near and far know of Mountain Rose
In the draw ahead they see her dust a flying
They'll never catch on that mare
Faster than her auburn hair
But that doesn't keep the boys from trying
Wild Mountain Rose she's as pretty as can be
Her mind as quick as a fiddle bow
She'll sing a top the crooners
Wink at all the suitors
Riding through the land of Colorado
Where the high mountain sky meets the ridge line
And the silver lupine grows
Lives a flower rare and divine
She's my Wild Mountain Rose
I met her in the morning high upon the ridge
We sat while the mesa framed the sunrise
By firelight and dancing horses went to prancing
I fell in love with Rose 'neath the moonlit sky
Silver and gold making money that can fold
We built a house and farm on the mountainside
It's there that we settle high atop Tea Kettle
Looking o're the canyon of Telluride
Where the high mountain sky meets the ridge line
And the silver lupine grows
Lives a flower rare and divine
She's my Wild Mountain Rose
The darling of the range
That Wild Mountain Rose
A shooting star among the arid woodland
The gem of Colorado riding on a plateau
High above the mighty Rio Grande
Where the high mountain sky meets the ridge line
And the silver lupine grows
Lives a flower rare and divine
She's my Wild Mountain Rose
Lives a flower rare and divine
She's my Wild Mountain Rose
