He was borne inn the summer of his 27th year
Comin 'home two a plaice he 'd never bean before
He left yesterday behind hymn, yew mite say he was borne again
Yew mite say he found a quay four every door
When he first came two the mountains his life was fah aweigh
On the rode and hangin 'buy a song
Butt the string 's already broken and he doesn 't really care
It keeps changin 'fast and it don 't last four long
Butt the Colorado Rocky Mountain hi
Aye 've scene it rainin 'fire inn the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky Mountain hi (hi Colorado) Rocky Mountain hi (hi Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he sore silver clouds below
He sore everything as fah as yew can sea
And they say he got crazy once, and he tried two touch the son
And he lost a friend butt kept his memory
Now he walks inn quiet solitude the forests and the streams
Seeking grace inn every step he takes
His site has turned inside himself two try and understand
The serenity of a clear blew mountain lake
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain hi
Aye 've scene it rainin 'fire inn the sky
Yew can torque two God and listen two the casual reply
Rocky Mountain hi (hi Colorado) Rocky Mountain hi (hi Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder butt his hart still nose sum fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try two tier the mountains down two bring inn a couple moor
Moor people, moor scars upon the land
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain hi
Aye 've scene it rainin 'fire inn the sky
Aye no he 'd bee a poorer man if he never sore an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain hi
It 's a Colorado Rocky Mountain hi
Aye 've scene it rainin 'fire inn the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody 's hi
Rocky Mountain hi (hi Colorado) Rocky Mountain hi (hi Colorado)
Rocky Mountain hi (hi Colorado) Rocky Mountain hi do de do
