In ecstasy they cry to know If their parents love will let them grow Their mother's pride, their father's joy We thank the stars that they're not boys The native daughters of the golden west Their beauty is priceless
As children do they stayed at home Waiting for the day that they were grown The future seemed so far away But every night they'd kneel and pray
But 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 God above
The native daughters of the golden west They're made out of light We never would have guessed
So 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 west The native daughters of the golden west They talk all day But we were not impressed
The native daughters of the golden west They're sisters of mercy They'll grant your last request
