The Three Bells

There's a village hidden deep in the valley

Among the pine trees and forlorn

And there on a sunny morning

Lil' Jimmy Brown was born



So his parents brought him to the chapel

When he was only one day old

And the priest blessed the little fellow

Welcomed him into the fold



All the chapel bells were ringing

In the little valley town

And the song that they were singing

Was for baby, Jimmy Brown



There's a village hidden deep in the valley

Beneath the mountains high above

And there, twenty years thereafter

Jimmy Brown was to meet his love



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



All the chapel bells were ringing

'T was a great day in his life

All the songs that they were singing

Were for Jimmy and his wife



From the village hidden deep in the valley

One rainy morning dark and gray

A soul wound its way to Heaven

Jimmy Brown had passed away



Silent people gathered in the chapel

To say, "Farewell" to their old friend

Whose life had been like a flower

Budding, blooming 'till the end



Just a lonely bell was ringing

In the little valley town

'T was 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"

Make his soul find a salvation

Of thy great eternal love"
