The Star of Telluride
Trad. with new arrangement and lyrics by Mike Abbass

Mountainside in Telluride
One evenin' last July
From the pouring rain
Came a sweet Colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet
From her two bare feet
To the sheen of her chestnut hair
Such a gorgeous elf
I shook myself
To see if I was really there

From Alex Bay to Yosemite
Denver down to Bayou Side
No babe I've seen
Like the sweet Colleen
That I met out in Telluride

As she onward sped
I scratched my head
And I looked with a feeling rare
Then I pulled aside
A local guy
"Who's the girl with the chestnut hair?"
He smiled at me
So knowingly
"Good luck. We all tried.
She's the gem in the crown
Of this mountain town
She's the Star of Telluride."

From Alex Bay to Yosemite
Denver down to Bayou Side
No babe I've seen
Like the sweet Colleen
That I met out in Telluride

To Anders' show
She's sure to go
And I'll dress in my best clothes
Then I saw the Star
Back by the bar
So cool I nearly froze
Fair and square
I surrendered there
Across the great divide
Never leave her side
'Till my smiling bride
Is the Star of Telluride

From Alex Bay to Yosemite
Denver down to Bayou Side
No babe I've seen
Like the sweet Colleen
That I met out in Telluride

From Alex Bay to Yosemite
Denver down to Bayou Side
No babe I've seen
Like the sweet Colleen
That I met out in Telluride
