74. DEAR HEARTS
AND GENTLE PEOPLE 1949
I LOVE THOSE DEAR HEARTS
AND GENTLE PEOPLE
WHO LIVE IN MY HOME TOWN.
I LOVE THOSE DEAR HEARTS
AND GENTLE PEOPLE
WHO NEVER EVER LET YOU DOWN.
THEY READ THE GOOD BOOK
FROM FRI TILL MONDAY;
THAT’S HOW THE WEEKEND GOES.
IVE GOT A DREAM HOUSE
I’LL BUILD THERE ONE DAY,
WITH PICKET FENCE AND RAMBLING ROSE.
I FEEL SO WELCOME
EACH TIME THAT l RETURN,
THAT MY HAPPY HEART KEEPS
LAUGHING LIKE A CLOWN.
I LOVE THOSE DEAR HEARTS
AND GENTLE PEOPLE
WHO LIVE AND LOVE IN MY HOME TOWN.
