And we laughed and played and made fun
Wise men have told me, wise women too
Down by the banks of the Colorado
And stayed with me throughout my test
And I took a pillar for a sign
Of the entire world spinning 'round the sun
Down by the banks of the Colorado
Wise men have told me, wise women too
The years flowed softly before my eyes
That the salt of the earth was surely mine
And the circus joined me in my quest
Up from the banks of the Colorado
Night watchmen stood guard 'round the wagon yard
There is another Colorado
Up from the banks of the Colorado
Down by the banks of one sweet Colorado
That I may find sweet El Dorado
Down by the banks of the Colorado
There is another Colorado
That I may find my sweet El Dorado
