Lyrics
- If you want to meet old timers
And a bunch of decent miners
Go to Wallace, Idaho
Sure! you’d think you were in Kerry
Where the boys and girls are merry
When you’re in Wallace, Idaho
Chorus
Are you from Wallace?
Yes, I’m from Wallace
From dear old Wallace
Wallace way out in Idaho
Where the sun it shines and the rich ore mines
Bring us all good times
In Wallace, that’s the place to go
Then you’re from Wallace?
Yes, I’m from Wallace
We’re both from Wallace
Wallace way out in Idaho
- You will find a friendly greeting
And good people you’ll be meeting
When in Wallace, Idaho
Where there’s lots of pep and thunder
And you stand in awe and wonder
While you’re in Wallace, Idaho - When you hear the birds a singing
And the dinner bells a ringing
You’re in Wallace, Idaho
When the girls around you linger
Like a ring around your finger
Why you’re in Wallace, Idaho
