Go West Young Man - The Andrews Sisters

Mr Horace Greeley was no fool

I’m sure that you agree with me that Greeley was no fool

What he is getting at is that Mr Greeley was no fool

Boy The wisdom of the man can be denied by none

For he’s the one that said

Before you go to Buffalo to Baltimore or Borneo

To Eastern Pennsylvania or Japan

Go west!

Young man

If you go to that land, sonny

You will have a lot of money

If you bring the money with you when you come

To the lone prairie, yippi-yi, yippi-yi

Yippi-yi-yi-yi!

Yippi-yi, yippi-yi, yippi-yi

Before you read a travel ad

And scamper off to Trinidad

Too often in New York and Yucatan

Go west!

Young man

In the East they live on doughnuts

In the West the natives grow up

And I guarantee you go nuts if you come

To the lone prairie, yippi-yay, yippi-yay

Yippi-yay-yay-yay!

Yippi-yi, yippi-yi, yippi-yi

A cowboy’s gal is a real true pal

She will stick to him right or wrong

Right or wrong

She don’t say nothing

And she don’t do nothing

And she don’t know nothing

And she don’t want nothing but a horse

And a cowboy, for she’s just keeps rolling along

Go west!

Young man

Go where the airport’s tearing the chest, young man

You can ride a bucking bronco or a pony

You can cut a calf in half and make baloney

Go west!

Young man

Go right up there and give 'em the very best you can

Don’t go east, don’t go south, don’t go north, have a care

Don’t go up, don’t go down, don’t go here, don’t go there

If it’s true what they say about Dixie

Go West!

Young man

Go out and till the soil there

Dig for gold and you’ll find oil there

Where the crow flies, where the snow flies, go, there’s no «no»!

If you are fond of hunting there’s no place that can compare

You may not bag a lion or a tiger or a bear

But if you want a jack-ass there are plenty of them there

Go West!

Young Man

The judges there are very fair, they always are of course!

A cowboy and his Mrs went to court for a divorce

The cowboy got the children and the Mrs got the horse

All Go west!

Young man

Yi-hi!
