Going to the West

Lyrics

In this fair land, I cannot stay Here  labor is in vain I'll  leave the mountains of my birth To seek the fertile plains I'm going to the West You  say you will not go with me You  turn your eyes away from me You say you will not follow me No  matter what I say I'm going to the West It's many years since we first met And you became my bride Now  I must journey far away Without you by my side You say you will... I'll leave you here in the land you love Mid scenes so bright and fair Where fragrant blossoms are a-bloomin' And music fills the air You say you will...
