Lyrics
The bells of St. Marry's at sweet eventide,
Shall call me beloved, to come to your side,
And out in the valley in south of the sea,
I know you'll be waiting, yes waiting for me.
Refrain
The Bells of St. Mary's,
Ah! hear they are calling
The young loves-- true loves
Who come from the sea,
And so my beloved,
When red leaves are falling,
The Love-bells shall ring out- ring out
For you and me.
The Bells of St. Mary's,
Ah! hear they are calling
The young loves- the true loves
Who come from the sea,
And so, my beloved,
When red leaves are falling,
The love-bells shall ring out- ring out
For you and me.
At the porch of St. Mary's I'll wait there with you
In your soft wedding dress with its ribbons of blue,
in the church of St. Mary's sweet voices shall sing,
For you and me dearest the wedding bells ring.
(to Refrain)
