Ringing The Bells For Jim Lyrics - Christmas Spirit - Johnny Cash

The father heard church bells at midnight 

A wrong time for church bells to chime 

He went to the tower, found a little girl there 

Said, "Why ring the bells at this time?" 

"I'm just ringing the bells for Jim 

Please father, ringing the bells for Jim 

I'm sorry, I'm cryin' but my brother Jim's dyin' 

So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim" 

Please father, pray for him this Christmas 

He's sick and he's in so much pain 

The doctors all say, he'll be gone any day 

So, I must ring the bells again

You see, he got well, when he heard the church bells 

I was ringing the bells for Jim"
