Текст песни: The Three Bells + перевод

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

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

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

Many friends were gathered in the chapel

And many tears of joy were she’d

In June, on a Sunday morning

When Jimmy and his bride were wed

All the chapel bells were ringing

Twas the great day of his life

Cause the song that they were singing

Was 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 it’s way to heaven

Jimmy Brown had passed away

Silent people gathered in the chapel

To say farewell to their old friend

Who’s life had been like a flower

Budding, blooming til the end

Just a lonely bell was ringing

In the little valley town

Twas farewell that they 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 true salvation

In thy great eternal love
