There's a village hidden in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there, on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born
So his parents brought him to the chapel When he was only one day old
And the priest blessed the little fellow
Welcome Jimmy to the fold
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's a village hidden in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
There,
twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet his love
Many friends were gathered in the
chapel And many tears of joy were shed
In June,
on a Sunday morning When Jimmy and his bride were wed
All the chapel bells were ringing It was a great day in his life
And the song 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 the Lord this
celebration May their lives be filled with love
From the village hidden in the valley One rainy morning,
dark and grey
Jimmy Brown had passed away Silent people gathered in the chapel
To say farewell to their old friend Whose life has been like a flower
The lonely bell was ringing
In the little valley town
To ask farewell that it was saying To our good old Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation May his soul find the salvation
Of thy great eternal love
