Lyric Dear Hearts And Gentle People

Dear Hearts and Gentle People
Gordon McRae
Words by Bob Hilliard and music by Sammy Fain.
Best-selling records in 1950 by Dinah Shore (Columbia) and Bing Crosby
(Decca).

I love those dear hearts and gentle people,
Who live in my home town.
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down.

They read the good Book from Fri till Monday,
That s how the weekend goes.
I ve got a dream house I ll build there one day,
With picket fence and ramblin rose.

I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin like a clown.
I love the dear hearts and gentle people,
Who live and love in my home town.

There s a place I d like to go and it s Batten, Idaho,
Where your friendly neighbors smile and say "Hello."
It s a pleasure and a treat to meander down the street,
That s why I want the whole wide world to know.

I love those dear hearts and gentle people,
Who live in my home town.
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down.

From: Gloria "Montcomags"
