Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: The Three Bells
Lyrics for Album: The Essential Jim Ed Brown and the Browns [RCA] [1996]
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 it's 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 good old 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...
