|
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 |
|
All the chapel bells were ringing |
|
In the little valley town |
|
And the songs that they were singing |
|
Were for baby Jimmy Brown |
|
Then 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 |
|
All the chapel bells were ringing |
|
Was a great day in his life |
|
'Cause the songs that they were singing |
|
Were for Jimmy and his wife |
|
Then the little congregation |
|
Prayed for guidance from above |
|
"Lead us not into temptation |
|
Bless oh Lord, 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 |
|
Just a lonely bell was ringing |
|
In the little valley town |
|
'Twas 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 |
|
May his soul find the salvation |
|
Of thy great eternal love" |
