There's a village, hidden deep in a valley, among the pine trees half forlorn.
And there, on a sunny morning, little Jimmy Brown was born.
Bum, bum, bum, all the chapel bells were ringing in the little village town.
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown.
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above.
Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of dedication, guide him with eternal life.
There's a village, hidden deep in a valley, beneath the mountains high above.
And there, twenty years thereafter, Jimmy was to meet his love.
Bum, bum, bum, all the chapel bells were ringing.
T'was a great day in his life.
Bum, bum, bum, all the chapel bells were ringing.
Cause the song that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife.
Bum, bum, bum, all the chapel bells were ringing.
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above.
Lead us not into temptation, bless, O Lord, this celebration.
May their lives be filled with love.
Bum, bum, bum, all the chapel bells were ringing.

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.
Bum, bum, bum, all the chapel bells were ringing.
In the little village town
T'was farewell that it was singing
To our buddy 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
Thank you.
