Samantha Fish - Belle of the West lyrics

[Verse 1] On the vermilion river On a packet bound for St. Clara Ride the lady [?] She’s the Belle of the West From somwehere down in Arkansas But, who’s to say? She just started that way [Chorus] She’s the Belle of the West Just a plain little lady Going down the big muddy On her way back home For, yes, she dreamed of this day With her lover she stormed away Never knowing someday she’d become The Belle of the West [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Up on [?] There’s a headstone hedged in black Here lies the lady [?] And each night they would pray Way back home in Arkansas Girl, you’re drifting too far from the shore You’re drifting too far [Chorus] She’s the Belle of the West Just a plain little lady Going down the big muddy On her way back home For, yes, she dreamed of this day Never once thinking of home Now, she’s southbound for glory The Belle of the West [Outro] She’s southbound for glory The Belle of the West Oh, she’s southbound for glory The Belle of the West
