BRIAN POOLE & THE TREMELOES THE THREE BELLS LYRICS

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.
So his parents brought him to the chapel,
When he was only one day old.
And the priest blessed the little fellow,
Welcomed Jimmy to 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.
And 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.
Many friends were gathered in the chapel,
And many tears of joy were shed.
In June on a Sunday morning,
Jimmy and his wife were wed.

All the chapel bells were ringing,
Was a great day in his life.
For the song that they were singing,
Was for Jimmy and his wife
And the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above.
Lead us not into temptation,
Bless with us 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.
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 that little valley town
And the song that they were singing
Was for 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"
