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
bum bum bum bum
all the chapel bells were ringing
bum bum in the little valley town
bum bum and the song that they were singing
o was for baby jimmy brown
o and the little congregation
oh prayed for guidance from above
lead us not into temptation
blessed 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
bum bum bum bum
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
pray 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 it's way to heaven
jimmy brown had passed away
bum bum bum bum
just a lonely bell was ringing
in the little valley town
it was farewell that it was singing
to my good old jimmy brown
little 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
