Legend of the Big Steeple - Porter Wagoner[00:00:01]

There's a legend about a Church in our town[00:00:04]

The steeple so high had seen for miles around[00:00:08]

Look on the hill and you'll realize[00:00:13]

The steeple's too big for the Churches size[00:00:17]

It seems it was a long time ago[00:00:24]

When this church had no steeple[00:00:28]

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

Sheltered the humble people[00:00:35]

But the money was short 'cause the times were bad[00:00:38]

They had to get along on what they had[00:00:42]

Just good simple people praying for a steeple[00:00:47]

About this time when spring was near[00:00:54]

A man of wreath and his sweetheart dear[00:00:57]

Made their plans for the bells to ring[00:01:02]

They would wed on the first of spring[00:01:07]

So this man of wealth and his true love dear[00:01:13]

Named the wedding hours[00:01:17]

They would wed in the little Church the one that had no towers[00:01:20]

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

He told his true love of his plan[00:01:31]

I'll build a steeple for these good people[00:01:36]

Yes they'll have their steeple[00:01:43]

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

They'll ring for our wedding[00:01:50]

On the first day of spring[00:01:54]

But they say death comes like a thief[00:01:59]

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

One week before the wedding day[00:02:06]

He learned his love had passed away[00:02:10]

Inspite of his grief and broken heart[00:02:17]

He kept the promise given[00:02:21]

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

The bells in Heaven[00:02:29]

And then he built the steeple ground[00:02:32]

The tallest one in all the land[00:02:36]

That's how the people got their steeple[00:02:41]

Well that is the reason[00:02:47]

The steeple is so high[00:02:51]

And why the bells ring louder[00:02:54]

When springtime is night[00:02:58]
