The Three Bells (Les trois cloches)

There is a village, hidden 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

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 is a village, hidden deep in the valley

Beneath the mountains high above

And there, twenty years thereafter

Jimmy was to meet his love

All the chapel bells were ringing

'Twas a great day in his life

'Cause the songs 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 grey

A soul winged its way to heaven

Jimmy Brown had passed away

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 its salvation

Of Thy great eternal love"
