Chorus:
Weep, all ye little rains,
Wail, winds, wail, all along, along,
Along the Colorado Trail.
Eyes like the morning star, cheeks like the rose,
Lara was a pretty girl ev’rybody knows.
Chorus:
Laura was a laughing girl, joyful in the day,
Lara was a darling girl, now she’s gone away.
Chorus:
Sixteen years she graced the earth and all life was good.
Now all life is buried beneath across the wood.
Chorus:
Additional Verses as recorded by Jo Stafford on Columbia Records
Ride all the lonely night, ride all the day.
Keep the herd a-rollin’ on, rollin’ on its way.
Eyes like the morning star, cheeks like the rose,
Laura was a pretty girl, heaven only knows.
Ride through the stormy night, dark is the sky.
Wished I’d stayed in Abilene, nice and warm and dry.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
