In ecstasy they cry to know

If their parents love will let them grow

Their mother's pridetheir 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
