Words by Bob Hilliard and music by Sammy Fain.

Best-selling records in 1950 by Dinah Shore (Columbia) and Bing Crosby

|
|
I love those dear hearts and gentle people,
|
Who live in my home town.
|
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
|
Will never ever let you down.
|
|
They read the good Book from Fri' till 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 home town.
|
|
There's a place I'd like to go and it's Batten, Idaho,
|
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 home town.
|
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
|
Will never ever let you down.
