Colorado Waltz – Fiddle Tune a Day – Day 40

I wrote the Colorado Waltz when I was 12 years old. That was way back in the 1980’s for those of you young whipper-snappers. I was fooling around on my fiddle, and I started playing the A Part of the song, and my dad liked it, and he wrote the B part to it. So, you could say it was a collaboration between Vi Wickam, and Vi Wickam. My mom wrote lyrics to it, and if I can get my hands on them, I will post them along with the tune.

Colorado Waltz Lyrics:

Colorado’s Rocky Mountains and the crystal blue skies

This land of treasure is surely divine

 

Colorado’s golden aspen and the towering pine

I love the song of the lark and the blue columbine

 

Chorus:

For there’s no place like Colorado

Though far I may wander and roam

There’ s just no place like Colorado

Colorado will always be home

 

Colorado, where a man can raise a fine family

Where the people are kind and the sunshine is free

 

Colorado’s snowy ski slopes, a mile in the air

There’s a beautiful view for the skiers to share

 

Chorus:

For there’s no place like Colorado

Though far I may wander and roam

There’ s just no place like Colorado

Colorado will always be home

    I actually wrote my first melody when I was 4. I wrote a couple of tunes during fiddle tune a day that were featured in it. One of them even made it onto my most recent album, Old School Old Time. Those tunes are: Higgedy Jig, and The Gypsy Jew. 🙂
