There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale


How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To list to the clear ringing bell
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh come to the church in the vale

Oh come come come come
Come to the church by the wildwood (come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come)
Oh, come to the church in the vale (come, come, come, come, come, come, come)
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

(Instrumental)


There close by the church in the valley
Lies one that I love so well
He sleeps sweetly sleeps neath the willow
Disturb not his rest in the vale

There close by the side of that loved one (ooh)
Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom (ooh)
when farewell hymns shall be chanted
I shall rest by his side in the tomb

Oh, come, come, come, come,
Come to the church in the wildwood (come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come)
Oh, come to the church in the vale (come, come, come, come, come, come, come)
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

No place is so dear to my childhood (ooh)
As the little brown church in the vale

Oh the little brown church in the vale"
