(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis)
She was born in the brief mountain springtime
Blue in the late mountain snow
And she grew in the sunlight of summer
But she knew when the aspen turned gold
That she had grown old
[Chorus]
Columbine, columbine
Blue in the Rockies
Will I miss you, while you were away?
Will I see you next summer, wild on the mountain?
Will you be there, when I pass your way?
She was there in the brief mountain springtime
Blue in the late mountain snow
And we lived in the sunlight of summer
But I knew when the aspen turned gold
That I had grown old
[Chorus]
Columbine, columbine
Blue in the Rockies
Will you miss me, when I've gone away?
Will I see you next summer, wild on the mountain?
Will you be there, when I pass your way?
Columbine, columbine
Blue in the Rockies
Will you miss me, when I've gone away?Take off your shoes
sit on the floor
I'll make us a coffee he'll keep you warm.
Remember the times we couldn't afford
Even the bare necessities
but we made it somehow.
And I love you
yes I love you.
Tell me do you love me
do you love me still.
They tried to keep me down
you made me strong
And I love you
yes I love you girl.
Tried to sell a tune
nobody would buy.
Hunger and frustration nearly made me die
Pressure when it takes you can drive you wild.
Baby
you've got the kind of love that really drives me wild.
And I love you
yes I love you. . . .
Don't say it
oh child
Don't suck your teeth on me
no
no
Baby
Don't play child
you know you made a man out of me.
Take off your shoes
sit on the floor
. . .
And I love you
yes I love you. . . .
They tried to keep me down
. . .
