Go West Young Man

歌詞

Before you go to Buffalo To Baltimore or Borneo To Eastern Pennsylvania or Sudan 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 Or scamper off to Trinidad To Albany New York or Yucatan Go west, young man In the east they live on doughnuts In the west the natives grow nuts And I'll guarantee you'll go nuts If you come to the lone prairie Yippi-yay, yippi-yay Yippi-yay-yay-yay Yippi-yi, yippi-yi, yippi-yi Go west, young man Go where the air puts hair on your chest, young man You can ride a buckin' bronco or a pony You can cut a calf in half and make bologna Go west, young man Go right up there and give 'em the very best you can Don't go north, don't go south, don't go east, have a care Don't go up, don't go down, don't go here, don't go there 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 In sunny California when the clouds are breaking loose And you complain about the rain they give you this excuse It isn't raining rain you know it's raining orange juice 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 Go west, young man Go out and till the soil there Dig for gold and you'll find oil there Where the snow flies, as the crow flies Go westward-ho! If there is a cattle shortage Which can happen like as not And they can't find a hunk of meat To chuck into the pot They sit around and beef About the beef they haven't got Go west, young man Yi-pi
