Chorus:
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
The Louisiana Purchase we bought from France
Back in 1803
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
We purchased it for a song and a dance
And it's doubled the size of the country
Lewis and Clark with the help of Sacajawea
Are mapping out trails that are best
And Daniel Boone found his way through the Cumberland Gap
So go west, young man, go west
Chorus:
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
The Louisiana Purchase we bought from France
Back in 1803
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
We purchased it for a song and a dance
And it's doubled the size of the country
You can build a log cabin there, though life can be rough
The pioneers we all work together
And past the Appalachian Mountains, why, there's room enough
For all of you to live forever
Chorus:
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
The Louisiana Purchase we bought from France
Back in 1803
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
We purchased it for a song and a dance
And it's doubled the size of the country
President Jackson removed the Indians
And he sent them on a Trail of Tears
He thought it would preserve their customs and keep the peace
But he took away the land they had been on for years
Chorus:
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
The Louisiana Purchase we bought from France
Back in 1803
Go west, that's where the pioneers are headed
We purchased it for a song and a dance
And it's doubled the size of the country
