Lyrics
- My heart is yearning, my thoughts are turning
To a mountain side by the Great Divide
Sometimes I feel like I could almost cry
For I’m so unhappy
Here’s the reason why
Chorus:
There’s a girl in Arizona
She’s so different from the rest
There’s a girl in Arizona
She put the “Gold” in the Golden West
I long to press her to my heart and caress her
For I love her, God bless her
My girl of the Golden West
- I feel so lonesome all by my “own-some”
And I know that she feels the same as me
Some day you’ll find me on that Western trail
For I’m tired of kissing
Kissing thro’ the mail
