Dear Hearts And Gentle People (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, January 29, 1950)

I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my hometown
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down

They read the good book from Friday 'til Monday
That's how the weekend goes
I've got a dream house, I'll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin' rose

I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my hometown

There's a place I'd like to be, and it's back in Tennessee
Where your friendly neighbors smile and say, "Hello"
It's a pleasure and a treat to meander down the street
That's why I want the whole wide world to know

I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my hometown
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down

I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my hometown
