Native Daughters of the Golden West lyrics

The native daughters of the golden west

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

You'll never pass their test

As 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 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 their 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
