Lyrics
Oh, you wild raging river; like a woman's lips you lure me! Pied-piper of the desert, flowing to the sea. You're the same at noon or midnight, and I follow where you go! But you're planning no returning, you wild Colorado.
If I had no love of life I'd become part of your flow; but I fear the place you take me, you wild Colorado.
O, you wild raging river, from the fountains of the mountains; you ripple through the valley growing wide and swift and deep. With what power you cut your canyons, how long ago! You're as wayward as my woman, you wild Colorado.
If I had no love of life I'd become part of your flow; but I fear the place you take me, you wild Colorado.
