From out of the West, a young woman did appear Searching around for her sweetheart so dear He's gone to the city, been taken away Until I find him, it's here I must stay The wind, it blew hard and it chilled to her bones As she thought of her children and her family back home As she drew her shawl tight, did that West Country girl As she trudged away along the old Union Canal She swore to the moon and the stars in the gloom That she'd find him before she ever went home Out from out of the West, a fortune to find Comes a young man with one thing on his mind The city before him and pleasure to seek And to think, no more of the promises he'll keep But his West Country dog sees him standing right there A knee by his side and the sun in his hair As she swears she will not get the better of this gal And she left him right there in the old Union Canal She left him right there in the old Union Canal
