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
