“The Village Of St. Bernadette”

(Words and Music by Eula Parker)

I've traveled far, the land and the sea

Beautiful places I happened to be

One little town I'll never forget

Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

There, like a dream, this wonderful night

I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light

A feeling divine swept over me there

I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

Now I am home, I'm happy to be

Telling of places I've traveled to see

One little town I'll never forget

Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
