The Native Daughters of the Golden West Lyrics

The native daughters of the golden westIn ecstasy they cry to know
If their parents love will let them go
Their mother's pride, their fathers joy
They thank the stars that they're not boysThe native daughters of the golden west
Their beauty is priceless, you'll never pass their testAs children do, they stayed at home
Waiting for the day when they were grown
The future seemed so far away
But every night they'd kneel and prayBut all in all they did their best
And one by one they left the nest
Across the globe they searched for love
And put their faith in their God aboveThe native daughters of the golden west
They're made of light, we never would have guessedSo by and by their dreams came true
They fell in love with boys they knew
Their children grew, fed from the breast
Of the native daughters of the golden westThe native daughters of the golden west
They talk all day but we were not impressedThe native daughters of the golden west
They're sisters of mercy, they'll grant your last request
