I've travelled far
The land and the sea
Beautiful places I happen to be
One little town
I'll never forget
Is Lourdes the village of St. Bernadete

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 the sweet ladies name

There like a dream
This wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine
Swept over me then
I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer

Ave Ave Ave Maria
Ave Ave Ave Maria

Now I am home
I'm happy to be
Telling of places I've travelled to see
One little town
I'll never forget
Is Lourdes the village of St. Bernadete

Ave Ave Ave Maria
Ave Ave Ave Maria

Sing Ave Maria
