There's a legend about a Church in our town

The steeple so high had seen for miles around

Look on the hill and you'll realize

The steeple's too big for the Churches size

It seems it was a long time ago

When this church had no steeple

Just four walls and the roof overhead

Sheltered the humble people

But the money was short 'cause the times were bad

They had to get along on what they had

Just good simple people praying for a steeple

About this time when spring was near

A man of wreath and his sweetheart dear

Made their plans for the bells to ring

They would wed on the first of spring

So this man of wealth and his true love dear

Named the wedding hours

They would wed in the little Church the one

That had no towers

He was a kind and generous man

He told his true love of his plan

I'll build a steeple for these good people

Yes they'll have their steeple

The bells there will ring

They'll ring for our wedding

On the first day of spring

But they say death comes like a thief

And soon his heart was filled with grief

One week before the wedding day

He learned his love had passed away

Inspite of his grief and broken heart

He kept the promise given

I'll build the steeple so my love can hear

The bells in Heaven

And then he built the steeple ground

The tallest one in all the land

That's how the people got their steeple

Well that is the reason

The steeple is so high

And why the bells ring louder

When springtime is night
