The Three Bells

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny mornin'
Jimmy Brown was born
All the chapel bells were ringing
In the little valley town
And the songs that they were singing
Was for baby Jimmy Brown

And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation
Bless this hour of meditation
Guide him with eternal love

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there 20 years after
Jimmy was to meet his love
All the chapel bells were ringing
It was a great day in his life
'Cause the songs that they were singing
Was for Jimmy and his wife

And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation
Bless, oh Lord, this celebration
May their lives be filled with love

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning, dark, and grey
A soul went his way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away
Just the lonely bell was ringing
In the little valley town
It was farewell, but it was singin'
To our friend Jimmy Brown

And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation
May thy soul find the salvation of thy great eternal love
