How The West Was Won

Come let us prepare

We brothers that are

Joined on this merry occasion;

Let's drink, laugh and sing;

Our wine has a spring,

Here's health to the men of the nation.

The world is in pain

Our secrets to gain

But still let them guess and gaze on;

They'll never divine

The word or the sign

Of free and strong men of the nation.

It's this and it's that

They cannot tell why

So many great men of the nation

Should aprons put on

To make themselves one

With the men who have found their salvation.

Then joined hand in hand

To each other we'll stand

Be merry with bright faces on;

What mortal can boast

So noble a toast

As free and strong men of the nation!
