Going To The West

As Sung By Judy Cook
In this fair land I'll stay no more
Here labor is in vain
I'll leave the mountains of my birth
And seek the fertile plain
I'm going to The West

You say you will not go with me
You turn your eyes away
You say you will not follow me
No matter what I say
I'm going to The West

It's been three years since first we met
And you become my bride
Now I must journey far away
Without you by my side
I'm going to The West

You say you will not go with me
You turn your eyes away
You say you will not follow me
No matter what I say
I'm going to The West

I'll leave you here in this land you love
Mid scenes so bright and fair
Where fragrant flowers bloom
And music fills the air
I'm going to The West

You say you will not go with me
You turn your eyes away
You say you will not follow me
No matter what I say
I'm going to The West

I'm going to The West
