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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When springtime Is night[00:02:59]
