The Three Bells
There's a village hidden deep in the valley,
Among the pine trees half forlorn,
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born.
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 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, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love.
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, oh Lord this celebration",
"May their lives be filled with love".
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.
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town,
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown,
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above,
"Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation",
"Of thy great eternal love".
