The Girl I Loved Out In The Golden West
Composer(s): Charles Avril - C.H. Scoggins



Twilight shadows come and go 
In the evening's sunset glow
And the birds are singing goodnight in the dell 
And I hear the robin trill
In its nest beneath the hill
Singing melodies my sad heart knows so well
While I listen in the glow 
Of pale moon rising slow
I hear a voice of one I long best
Tho' she left me long before 
Yet I see her as of yore
The girl I loved out in the golden west

Just like children running wild
For no care our world defiled
And our laughter echoed load among the hills
And we rambled in the dell
Near the spot I loved so well 
When I think of her my heart with sadness fills
For one day down by the brook
'Neath a cool and shady nook 
She laid her golden head upon my breast 
It was there her first sweet kiss 
Filled my raptured soul with bliss 
The girl I loved out in the golden west

Once again I feel the spell 
But no words of mine can tell
I can see her grave beneath the mountain crest
And I'm keeping green the place
Where tonight I see the face 
Of the girl I loved out in the golden west
