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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:35] Sheltered the humble people

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:17] Named the wedding hours

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:29] The bells in Heaven

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:58] When springtime is night
