[E]
Now the girls in the Telly Ride do it like this
Cross the fingers when they kiss you
Don't say nothing, they hide in your bag
And they don't take nothing but they don't give [C#m] back
[A] Take the gold in the [B] Telly Ride
[C#m] Work [A] all winter at the [B] Tomboy Mine
[A] [E] Dreamin' of what we'll [A] do when the snow finally [E] ends
And the spring breaks [A] through
Pick up a load of the wagon, sleep a little one [D#] by our side
[B] Take [C#m] [A] the gold in the Telly [E] Ride
They like to lay you down on a cannonball bed
Put a soft feather pillow by your head
Intertwine flowers of the maddened spell
Wake you in the morning, now [C#m] she's wailing
[A] Take the gold in the Telly [B] Ride
[C#m] Ain't nothin' [A] to stop an avalanche [B] when it's sliding
[A] Once [E] the wagon starts to [A] roll
You can't turn the mute [E] if the brakes don't hold
[A] Get up in the valley with a little one by [D#m] your side
[B]
[C#m] [A] Take the gold in the Telly [E] Ride
[D] Lace curtains, [E] fog windows
[A] Dreams torn from a [D] catalog page
[Bm] We may want
[E] you to change [A] your views
But our love [B] won't change
[E] She gonna climb you high on top of a hill
Fall asleep laughing with the whippoorwills
Intertwine flowers in matron's ring
Wake you in the morning, now [C#m] she's singing
[A] Take the gold in the [B] Telly Ride
Winter
[C#m] [A] with the [B] teenage bride
[A] [E] Dreamin' of what we'll [A] do when the snow finally ends
And the spring breaks through
We'll load up the wagon, set the little one [B] by our side
[C#m] [A] Take the gold in the [E] Telly Ride
