Three Bells Songtext
von Tracy Nelson

There′s a village, down 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 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 meditation
Guide him with eternal love

There's a village, down deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, 20 years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love
Bam, bam, bam, bam (bam)


All the chapel bells were ringing (bam, bam)
′Twas a great day in his life (bam, bam)
And the song that they were singing (bam, bam)
Was for Jimmy and his wife (bam, bam)
And the little congregation (bam, bam)
Prayed for guidance from above (bam, bam)
Lead us not into temptation (bam)
Bless, oh Lord, this celebration (bam)
May their lives be filled with love

From the village, down deep in the valley
One rainy morning, dark and gray
A soul winged its way to Heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away
Bam, bam, bam, bam (bam)

Just a lonely bell was ringing (bam, bam)
In the little valley town (bam, bam)
'Twas farewell that they were singing (bam, bam)
To our good friend Jimmy Brown (bam, bam)
And the little congregation (bam, bam)
Prayed for guidance from above (bam, bam)
Lead us not into temptation (bam)
May his soul find his salvation (bam)
In thy great eternal love
