Come you heroes strong and ready!
Hear you not the bugles call?
On with the pack,
your gun on your back,
for freedom is waiting all.
See! the covered wagon's ready,
wife and sweetheart standing near.
Fearless and true
to share life with you
so forward with hearty cheer!

Westward Ho! follow the lonesome trail
Westward Ho! never to stop nor fail.
Westward Ho! over the mountain peak,
There is our home
the home we seek
Westward Ho!
Travel along with cheering song,
so Westward Ho! Oh, Ho!

Westward Ho! follow the lonesome trail
Westward Ho! never to stop nor fail.
Westward Ho! over the mountain peak,
There is our home
the home we seek
Westward Ho!
Travel along with cheering song,
so Westward Ho! Oh, Ho!

Floating proudly is Old Glory,
Waving o'er us day and night,
Red white and blue
says: "Come Boys and do!
And do it with all your might!"
We'll be known in song and story
Pioneers who blazed the way.
Over the plain
through sunshine and rain
with grit and a Hip Hooray!

Westward Ho! follow the lonesome trail
Westward Ho! never to stop nor fail.
Westward Ho! over the mountain peak,
There is our home
the home we seek
Westward Ho!
Travel along with cheering song,
so Westward Ho! Oh, Ho!

Westward Ho! follow the lonesome trail
Westward Ho! never to stop nor fail.
Westward Ho! over the mountain peak,
There is our home
the home we seek
Westward Ho!
Travel along with cheering song,
so Westward Ho! Oh, Ho!
