Nana Mouskouri - The Three Bells Lyrics
There's a village hidden deep in the valleyAmong the pine trees and forlornAnd there on a sunny morningLil' Jimmy Brown was bornSo his parents brought him to the chapelWhen he was only one day oldAnd the priest blessed the little fellowWelcomed him into the foldAll the chapel bells were ringingIn the little valley townAnd the song that they were singingWas for baby Jimmy BrownThere's a village hidden deep in the valleyBeneath the mountains high aboveAnd there, twenty years thereafterJimmy Brown was to meet his loveMany friends were gathered in the chapelAnd many tears of joy were shedIn June on a Sunday morningWhen Jimmy Brown and his bride were wedAll the chapel bells were ringing't was a great day in his lifeAll the songs that they were singingWere for Jimmy and his wifeFrom the village hidden deap in the valleyOne rainy morning dark and greyA soul wound its way to HeavenJimmy Brown had passed awaySilent people gathered in the chapelTo say farewell to their old friendWhose life had been like a flowerBudding, blooming 'till the endJust a lonely bell was ringingIn the little valley town't was farewell that it was singingTo our good old Jimmy BrownAnd the little congregationPrayed for guidance from above"Lead us not into temptation""Make his soul find a salvation""Of thy great eternal love"Paroles de B. ReisfieldMusique de Jean Villardenr. 8 juillet 1950
