Lyrics
I know this place in Massachusetts
That?s better than best it?s as great as it gets
It?s beauty and all of its history?s waiting for you
Folks are as friendly as friendly can be
Open your eyes there is plenty to see
Let?s take a look at the long list of things you can do
In the city known as the town of Franklin
In the city known as the town of Franklin
Check out America?s first lending library
A closer look shows you it?s not ordinary
For inside you?ll find the first books that were furnished by Ben
The one room red Brick School?s become the town?s treasure
The oldest one running by anyone?s measure
Still looks the same now today as it did way back then
In the city known as the town of Franklin
In the city known as the town of Franklin
Then there?s the common that?s uncommonly good
Where townspeople gather as townspeople should
Weddings and concerts and festivals throughout the year
And monuments honor the mighty Mann Horace
And all that this ?father of education? did for us
It?s no mystery why so many would choose to live here!
In the city known as the town of Franklin
In the city known as the town of Franklin
