Lyrics
There's a village hidden deep in the valley Among the pine trees all 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 "Welcome, jimmy, to the fold"
All the chapel bells were ringing In the little valley town And the songs that they were singing Were for baby jimmy brown And the little congregation Prayed for wisdom 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 brown would 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 and his bride were wed
All the chapel bells were ringing 'Twas a great day in his life And the songs that they were singing Were for jimmy and his wife And 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 deap in the valley One rainy morning dark and grey 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 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."
