Eyes like the morning star, cheeks like a rose
Laura was a pretty girl, God Almighty knows

Refrain
Weep on you falling rain, wail, winds, wail
All along, along, along the Colorado trail

Stars fading up above, lark starts to sing
Sky is rosy in the east, what will this day bring?

Face like a prairie flower, laughing all the day
Laura was a pretty girl, now she's gone away
