Artist  : Roy Orbison

Original french words by bert reisfeld and music

English words added by dick manning


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

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
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’s a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
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 gray
A soul winged it’s way to heaven
Jimmy brown had passed away

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little
valley town
’twas farewell that it was singing to our
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"
