《Legend Of The Big Steeple》歌词

[00:00:00] Legend Of The Big Steeple - Porter Wagoner

[00:00:05] There's a legend about a church In our town

[00:00:09] The steeple so high had seen for miles around

[00:00:14] Look on the hill and you'll realize

[00:00:18] The steeple's too big for the churches size

[00:00:25] It seems It was a long time ago when this church had no steeple

[00:00:32] Just four walls and the roof overhead sheltered the humble people

[00:00:39] But the money was short 'cause the times were bad

[00:00:43] They had to get along on what they had

[00:00:48] Just good simple people praying for a steeple

[00:00:55] About this time when spring was near

[00:00:59] A man of wreath and his sweetheart dear

[00:01:03] Made their plans for the bells to ring

[00:01:08] They would wed on the first of spring

[00:01:14] So this man of wealth and his true love dear named the wedding hours

[00:01:21] They would wed In the little church the one that had no towers

[00:01:28] But he was a kind and generous man

[00:01:32] He told his true love of his plan

[00:01:37] I'll build a steeple for these good people

[00:01:44] Yes they'll have their steeple

[00:01:47] The bells there will ring

[00:01:51] They'll ring for our wedding

[00:01:55] On the first day of spring

[00:02:00] But they say death comes like a thief

[00:02:03] And soon his heart was filled with grief

[00:02:07] One week before the wedding day

[00:02:11] He learned his love had passed away

[00:02:18] Inspite of his grief and broken heart he kept the promise given

[00:02:25] I'll build the steeple so my love can hear the bells In heaven

[00:02:33] And then he built the steeple ground the tallest one In all the land

[00:02:42] That's how the people got their steeple

[00:02:48] Well that Is the reason

[00:02:52] The steeple Is so high

[00:02:55] And why the bells ring louder

[00:02:59] When springtime Is night
