Aspen Gold Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Harold Payne 

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 

Chorus: 

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.
