COLORADO TRAIL by composer Lana Walter is an American Cowboy song arrangement for TTBB a cappella Choir. Grade: M Duration: 2:45

TEXT:

Eyes like a morning star, cheek like a rose,

Laura is a pretty girl, ev’rybody knows.

Weep, all ye little rains, wail, winds, wail,

all along the Colorado Trail.

She was a laughing girl, joyful all day.

Laura was the sweetest girl, now she’s gone away.

Weep, all ye little rains, wail, winds, wail,

all along the trail.

Now in this world of woe I’m all alone.

And I know that pretty girl never was my own.

Weep, all ye little rains, wail, winds, wail,

all along the Colorado Trail.

Composer’s notes:

The Princeton Nassoons are a rugged and colorful bunch of gentlemen from all walks of life who take enormous pleasure in the music they make together. Whether they are singing rowdy songs, off-color songs, silly songs, or sentimental songs, they aren’t afraid to pour their hearts into the music. If you heard them sing this song, you would come away with the certainty that cowboys have feelings too!
