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" |
