There's a church in the valley by the wildwood,
No lovelier place in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the dale
CHORUS
Oh come, come, come, come
Come to the church in the wildwood
Oh come to the church in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the dale
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bell
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh come to the church in the dale
CHORUS
There close by the side of a loved one
'neath the trees where the wild flowers bloom
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps ‘neath a willow
Disturb not her rest in the tomb
CHORUS (x2)
