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 chappel
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 chappel
And many tears of joy were shed
In June on a Sunday morning
Jimmy Brown and his bride were wed

All the chapel bells were ringing, 't 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 gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away

Silent people gathered in the chappel
To say farewell to their old friend
Whose life had been like a flower
Budding, blooming 'til the end

Just a lonely bell was ringing in that little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for good ol' 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"
