All sources point to a cowboy from Duluth, MN whose name is unknown. He was brought to the hospital after being thrown and trampled by what he called &#8216;a terribly bad hoss.&#8217; A surgeon, Dr. T.L. Chapman, treated the wrangler for &#8216;bones of both upper and lower legs broken, fractures of the collar bone on both sides, numerous fractures of both arms and wrists, and many scars from lacerations.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As the unknown cowboy convalesced and his strength returned, he sang across the hospital ward in a mellowed tenor voice, and the other patients always called for more. One of the songs he sang was Colorado Trail.<\/p>\n<p>Camilla and I have added two new verses to the traditional first verse. I chose this song because we&#8217;ll be driving from Florida to Colorado in April to play a concert at the King Center for the Performing Arts on the Auraria Campus, in Denver on April 5th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\nD          G           D<\/p>\n<p>Eyes like a morning star<\/p>\n<p>G                D<\/p>\n<p>Cheeks like a rose<\/p>\n<p>D            G       D<\/p>\n<p>Laura was a pretty girl<\/p>\n<p>G          A<\/p>\n<p>Everybody knows<\/p>\n<p>D             G       D<\/p>\n<p>Weep all you little rains<\/p>\n<p>G              D<\/p>\n<p>Wail, winds, wail<\/p>\n<p>D    G      D       G<\/p>\n<p>All along, along along<\/p>\n<p>Em            D<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado trail.<\/p>\n<p>Saddle up my dapple-gray<\/p>\n<p>The sky still red with dawn<\/p>\n<p>Keep a steady pace all day<\/p>\n<p>Singing my sweet song<\/p>\n<p>Riding through the purple hills<\/p>\n<p>Just like Roy and Dale<\/p>\n<p>All along, along along<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado trail.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to find a silver mine<\/p>\n<p>Then I\u2019ll stake my claim<\/p>\n<p>Send it all to Laura<\/p>\n<p>Shower her like rain<\/p>\n<p>Hurry back on home to her<\/p>\n<p>Speeding o\u2019er the rail<\/p>\n<p>All along, along along<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado trail.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2001 McGuinn Music \u2013 Traditional \/ New lyrics by<\/p>\n<p>C.
