[Verse 1]
Oh, you wild raging river
Like my woman's lips you lure me
Pied piper of the desert
Roll on to the sea
You're the same at noon or midnight
And I follow where you go
But you're planning no returning
You wild Colorado

[Chorus]
If I had no love of life
I'd become part of your flow
But I fear the place you'd take me
You wild Colorado

[Verse 2]
Oh, you wild raging river
From the fountains of the mountains
You ripple down the valleys
Growing wide and swift and deep
With what power you cut your canyons
How long ago
You're as wayward as my woman
You wild Colorado
[Chorus]
If I had no love of life
I'd become part of your flow
But I fear the place you'd take me
You wild Colorado
