THE CHURCH IN THE WILDWOOD
Songwriter: Willian Pitts (Dr. William S. Pitts, 1857)
There’s a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier place in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the dale.
Oh, come to the church in the wildwood
come to the church in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the dale.
Instrumental gitar
How sweet on a clear Sunday morning
To listen to the clear ringing bells
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh come to the church in the dale
Oh, come to the church in the wildwood, …a.s.o.
Instrumental orgel
There, close by the church in the valley
Lies one that I loved so well
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ‘neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the dale
Oh, come to the church in the wildwood, …….
Oh, come to the church in the wildwood, …….
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the dale.
