Lily of the West Lyrics:

When I first left old Buckeye location for to find
I heard of a distant country in language most divine
A land of milk and honey and water of the best
They called it Minnesota … the Lily of the West

I came to Galena I didn't like the town
The streets they were too narrow and winding was the ground
I stepped up to my tavern and wrote upon my chest
I'm bound for Minnesota the Lily of the West

The Gopher girls are cunning the Gopher girls are shy
I'll marry me a Gopher girl or a bachelor I'll die
He'll wear a standup collar support a handsome wife
And live in Minnesota the balance of my life

Chorus
Off the Steamer Northern Belle I stepped into Winona
It's there I got recruited and roved the state all over
I trailed it through and through I tell you where's the best
Come settle in Minnesota the Lily of the West

Off the Steamer Northern Belle I stepped into Winona
It's there I got recruited and roved the state all over
I trailed it through and through I tell you where's the best
Come settle in Minnesota the Lily of the West
