The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Telluride lyrics

Now the girls in telluride do it like this
Cross their fingers when they kiss you
Don't say nothing behind your back

And they don't take nothin'
That they dont give back
Take the gold into telluride

Work all winter in the tomboy mine
Dreamin' of what we'll do when the snow finally ends
And the spring breaks through

Well, load up the wagon
And set the little one by our side
Take the gold into telluride

I'd 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

Ain't nothing 'll stop an avalanche when its sliding
Once the wagon starts to roll
You cant turn the mule and the brakes don't 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 whippoorwill
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
