Telluride - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Now the girls in telluride do it like this

Cross their fingers when they kiss you

Dont say nothing behind your back

And they dont take nothin that they dont give back

Take the gold into telluride

Work all winter in the tomboy mine

Dreamin of what well do When the snow finally ends

And the spring breaks through

Well load up the wagon &set the little one by our side

Take the gold into telluride

Id like to lay you down on a cannonball bed

Put a soft feather pillow down by your head

Intertwine flowers into a maidens veil

Wake you in the morning

Now shes wailing take the gold into telluride

Aint nothingll stop an avalanche when its sliding

Once the wagon starts to roll, you cant turn the mule and the brakes dont hold;

You end up in the valley with the little one by your side

Take the gold into telluride.

Lace curtains for the windows,

Dreams torn from a catalog page.

We may wander where the wind blows

You change your views but our love wont change

She gonna climb you high on top of a hill

Fall asleep laughing with the whipporwill

Intertwined flowers in the matrons ring

Wake you in the morning

Now shes singing take the gold into telluride

I loved my winter with a teenage bride

Dreamin of what well do When the snow finally ends

And the spring breaks through

Well load up the wagon, set the little one by our side

Take the gold into telluride

Take the gold into telluride
