GIFT OF 
 
IN THE GOOD OLD GOLDEN WEST 
 
 BY 
 STANTON ELLIOT 
 
 > 
 
OH, A SONG I WOULD BE SINGIN' 
 
 FROM THIS FAIR, PACIFIC SHORE, 
 
 TO THE CHAP WHO IS A-CLINGIN' 
 
 TO A LIFE THAT IS A BORE: 
 
 THERE'S A COUNTRY THAT'S A-WATON' 
 
 WITH A WELCOME IN THE AIR 
 
 FOR THE PLUCK THAT'S UP AN' LAFFIN' 
 
 AND THE MAN WHO'S ON THE SQUARE; 
 
 FROM THE VAST SIERRA HIGHLAND 
 
 TO THE COLORADO'S ROAR, 
 
 FROM THE CATALINA ISLAND 
 
 TO "THE CANYON'S" ROCKY FLOOR,- 
 
 OH, I LOVE THE EASY FREEDOM, 
 
 AND THE LUCK THAT'S IN THE GROUND, 
 
 AND THE LOYAL, ROYAL SPIRIT 
 
 FROM THE PLAINS TO PUGET SOUND. 
 
 'MID THE YELLOWSTONE'S WILD FOUNTAINS 
 AND THE GARDEN OF THE GODS, 
 ROUND YOSEMITE'S PARKED MOUNTAINS 
 WHERE THE GOLDEN SUNSET NODS, 
 LET ME ROAM THROUGH NATURE'S STORY,- 
 DREAM THE DREAMS THAT WAIT FOR ALL 
 WHO WOULD FIND A MATCHLESS GLORY 
 IN THE MAGIC OF HER CALL. 
 
 OH, THERE'S ROOM FOR EV'RY MORTAL 
 IN THE LAND I LOVE THE BEST, 
 AN' THERE'S WELCOME IN EACH PORTAL 
 IN THE GOOD OLD GOLDEN WEST,- 
 WHERE THE EVERGREENS ARE MIGHTY 
 AN' ALL NATURE FILLS THE EYES, 
 FROM THE SPLENDOR OF THE ROCKIES 
 TO THE WEST-GATE'S PARADISE.
