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
So his parents took him to the chapel When he was only one day old
And the priest blessed the little fellow Welcome Jimmy to the fold
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 hidden deep in the valley Beneath the mountains high above
And 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 Jimmy and his wife were wed
All the chapel bells were ringing Was a great day in his life
For the song that they were singing Was for Jimmy and his wife
And the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation Bless with us 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
Silent people gathered in the chapel To say farewell to their old friend
Whose life had been like a flower Budding, blooming till the end
Just a lonely bell was ringing In that little valley town
And the song that they were singing Was for good old 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
