## The words

There’s a little white town not far from the  
sea, And away from the world, where I fain  
would be; Thers’s a little white town That runs  
up hill and down, There’s a little white town  
in my own countrie. There’s a little white  
house, and, if I were free To make my choice,  
I would rather be In that haven of rest With  
the one I love best Than dwell anywhere else  
in the whole counttrie.  
There’s a little white gown that is more to me  
Than all other gowns in the world coule be;  
There’s a little white gown Being sewn in the  
town That is dear to my heart in my own  
countrie. For when the last stitch has been  
sewn, you seem That little white gown will be  
worn for me, In that little white town That  
runs up hill and down, By the daintiest bride  
in the whole countrie.
