[00:00.00]Where The Silvery Colorado Wends Its Way - The Carter Family
[00:04.54]The twilight softly gathered
[00:06.86]Round my home among the hills
[00:09.83]And all nature soon will settle away to rest
[00:15.36]While I sit and sadly ponder
[00:18.14]And my heart with longing fills
[00:20.95]As I often think of one that I love best
[00:26.65]We were wedded in the springtime
[00:29.25]And our hearts they knew no pain
[00:32.57]Fair nature seemed to smile on us that day
[00:37.83]Now she sleeps beneath the lilacs
[00:40.52]And she'll ne'er come back again
[00:43.40]Where the silver Colorado wends its way
[00:49.08]There's a sob on every breeze
[00:53.34]And a sigh comes from the trees
[00:57.46]And the mocking birds they sing a sadder way
[01:03.08]For the flowers creep no more
[01:05.90]Round my cheerless cabin door
[01:08.71]Where the silver Colorado wends its way
[01:36.17]The silver snow is gleaming
[01:38.42]On your distant mountainside
[01:41.70]Where often used to wander Nell and I
[01:46.76]And the birds are singing gaily
[01:49.46]In the valley far below
[01:52.29]Where I long some day to lay me down and die
[01:57.80]Then our lives were gay and happy
[02:00.55]In the shadow of the hills
[02:03.61]My heart beats fonder for her day by day
[02:08.99]And I feel her presence near me
[02:11.84]As I sit alone tonight
[02:14.66]Where the silver Colorado wends its way
[02:20.19]There's a sob on every breeze
[02:24.39]And a sigh comes from the trees
[02:28.57]And the mocking birds they sing a sadder way
[02:34.20]For the flowers creep no more
[02:37.01]Round my cheerless cabin door
[02:39.82]Where the silver Colorado wends its way
