In ecstasy they cry to know
If their parents love will let them grow
Their mothers pride, their fathers joy
We thank the stars that theyre 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 theyd 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
Theyre 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
Theyre sisters of mercy
Theyll grant your last request
