This song, along with the instrumental version, sheet music, and extension activities, is available on Barbara Speicher's ""Learning American History by Song"
We’re goin’ out West in a covered wagon
Through the wilderness to make our home
We’re pioneers with our ax and rifle
In this bold adventure to the great unknown
Chorus
Goin’ out West (echo), goin’ out West (echo)
We’re pioneers (pioneers), we don’t rest (echo)
Goin’ out West (echo), goin’ out West (echo)
We’re pioneers (pioneers) on a quest (echo)
We cross steep mountains and vast prairie grasslands...
Chorus
We’re pioneers (pioneers) on a quest (echo)
