The Three Bells (The Jimmy Brown Song)

Lyrics

There's a village hidden deep in the valley Among the pine trees half forlorn It was there on a sunny morning Little Jimmy Brown was born [Verse 2] So his parents brought him to the chapel When he was only one day old And there they blessed the little fellow Welcomed Jimmy to the fold [Chorus] All the chapel bells were ringing In the little valley town And the song that they were singing, was for baby Jimmy Brown Then the littlе congregation prayed for guidance from abovе "Lead us not into temptation, bless old Lord this meditation Guide him with eternal love" [Verse 3] There’s a village hidden deep in the valley Beneath the mountains high above It was there, twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet his love [Verse 4] Many friends were gathered in the chapel And many tears of joy were shed In June on a Sunday morning When Jimmy Brown and his bride were wed [Chorus] All the chapel bells were ringing 'Twas a great day in his life 'Cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation, bless old Lord this celebration May their lives be filled with love" [Verse 5] From the village hidden deep in the valley One rainy morning dark and gray A soul winged its way to Heaven Jimmy Brown had passed away [Verse 6] Silent people gathered in the chapel To say farewell to their old friend Whose life had been like a flower Budding, blooming ’til the end [Chorus] Just a lonely bell was ringing In the little valley town 'Twas farewell that it was singing to our good old Jimmy Brown Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above "Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation Of thy great eternal love"
