Dear Hearts And Gentle People - Gordon MacRae

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

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

Home, home sweet home

Home, home sweet home
