The Kingston Trio - Aspen Gold lyrics

I hitchhiked into Idaho in the middle of the night Caught the autumn outdoor late show by God's own candle light I closed my eyes reluctantly while mother nature waved her wand When I awoke I saw before me in the dawn Aspen gold among the green. Prettiest sight my eyes have ever seen. Aspen gold among the green. Prettiest sight this city boy's ole smoggy eyes have seen. Caught a ride from an old-time miner Heading aimless toward his past He talked about his younger years and a life just as fast They were looking for a fool's gold buried deep inside the ground Well, if they had looked up into the trees, they would have found. Aspen gold among the green. Prettiest sight my eyes have ever seen. Aspen gold among the green. Prettiest sight this city boy's ole smoggy eyes have seen.
