Artist/Band: Roy Orbison
Lyrics for Song: The Three Bells
Lyrics for Album: Roy Orbison Sings/memphis/milestones [1996]



There is a village hidden deep in the valley



Among the pine trees half forlorn



And there on a Sunday morning



Little 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



Then the little congregation, prayed for guidance from above



(Hallelujah)



Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation



Guide him with eternal love



(Hallelujah)



There is 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, was 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



(Hallelujah)



Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration



May their lives be filled with love



(Hallelujah)



From the village hidden deep in the valley



One rainy morning dark and gray



A soul winged its way to heaven



Little Jimmy Brown had passed away



Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town



Was farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown



And the little congregation, prayed for guidance from above



(Hallelujah)



Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation



Of thy great eternal love



(Hallelujah)



(Hallelujah)
