The Village Of St. Bernadette - Jack Jones

Ave, ave, ave Maria

Ave, ave, ave Maria

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 Maria

Ave, ave, ave Maria

Down to the grotto I followed in song

Pilgrims all weary from journeys so long

Rich and the poor, the strong and the lame

Thousands all praising th sweet lady’s name

Ave, ave, av Maria

Ave, ave, ave Maria

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 Maria

Ave, ave, ave Maria
