El Dorado Lyrics

A drifter in a bar

Trades stories for a drink

With tales of travels far

That robbed him of his sleep

A place that no man knew

But many knew through tales

The famous El Dorado

That set many a sail

In younger years he too

Sought fortune with a friend

That city was in view

Until one met their end

Gold valleys filled their eyes

And jealous hands took aim

One wounded one to die

No fortune ever gained

Searching for a dream

Shared by men of old

In search of El Dorado

The city made of gold

Riches never seen

And fortunes never told

The Legend El Dorado

The city made of gold

Laying by his friend

He felt a wave of shame

His blood was on his hands

For nothing they had came

Crawling on his knees

He barely made it home

Betrayed by selfish greed

And cursed to sail alone

He never did return

For riches held no charm

This lesson that he'd learned

He told me in the bar

The city it is real

But boy you best be warned

Don't make a devil's deal

It isn't worth your heart

Searching for a dream

Shared by men of old

In search of El Dorado

The city made of gold

Riches never seen

And fortunes never told

The Legend El Dorado

The city made of gold

Searching for a dream

Shared by men of old

In search of El Dorado

The city made of gold

Riches never seen

And fortunes never told

The Legend El Dorado

The city made of gold
