The Native Daughters Of The Golden West Lyrics

The Native Daughters Of The Golden West

In ecstasy they cry to know
If their parents love will let them go
Their mother's pride, their father's joy
We thank the stars that they're not boys

The native daughters of the golden west
Their beauty is priceless, you'll never pass their test

As children do they stayed at home
Waiting for the day when 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 their God above

The Native Daughters Of The Golden West
They're made 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

Cover art for The Native Daughters Of The Golden West lyrics by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

It's an epic pine for the beauty of white women. There are some bizarre lines in the song though too, all I can say to explain that is that it's a little bit melancholy. To my ear he sounds sympathetic, but he's basically staging the concept of the development of a certain type of woman as an epic, almost mythological, adventure.
