How The West Was Won

They came with Bible fist and gun

And they fought until the job was done

The winning of the West

(Promised land the land of plenty rich in gold

Here came dreamers with Bible fist and gun

Bound for land across the plains their wagons rolled

Hell bent for leather that's how the West was won)

(Stride by stride they tamed the savage prairie land

Nothing stopped them no wind nor rain nor sun

Side by side these pioneers from every land

All pulled together that's how the West was won)

And they sang of the day when they would rest their boots

In a land where the still waters flow

Where the dreams of a man and wife could put down roots

And their love and the seeds of love would grow

(And grow and grow)

(Dream by dream they built a nation from this land

Forged in freedom for every mother's son

Here it is the beautiful the promised land

We won't forget them and how the West was won)
