I LOVE IT OUT HERE IN THE WEST
From the film "Abilene Town" (1946)
(Fred Spielman / Kermit Goell)


Ann Dvorak (Film Soundtrack) - 1946




Oh, I hate the wind that blows across the prairie
I hate to hear the coyotes nightly song
I hate the sound of six-guns that they carry
It's much too hot in Summertime
It's much too cold in Winter
But listen, Mister, please don't get me wrong


I love it out here in the West
Because the West is best for lovin'
When the stars are shinin' and the moon is gold
You'll find me out with my Romeo
Back East I was always repressed
That's why I love it out in the West


I love it out here in the West
Because the life is free and easy
You can do most anything you doggone please
There's room to stretch and there's room to breathe
I'm just brimmin' over with zest
Because I love it out in the West


I hate the everlasting smell of cattle
I hate the flies that buzz around my head
I hate the sound of rattlers when they rattle
It's much too far from home-sweet-home
It's hard to be a lady
But listen, Mister, please don't leave this land


I love it out here in the West
Because the life is free and easy
You can do most anything you doggone please
There's room to stretch and there's room to breathe
I'm just brimmin' over with zest
Because I love it out in the West
