The Three Bells Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

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 deap in the valley 

One rainy morning dark and grey 

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"
