CThere's a village hidden deep in the valley
FAmong the Cpine trees Fhalf Cforlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little FJimmy Brown G7was Cborn 
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little village G7town
And the songs that they were singing was for baby Jimmy CBrown
Then the little congregation E7prayed for guidance from Fabove
Lead us not into Ctemptation bless this hour of mediG7tation
Guide him with eternal Clove
There's a village hidden deep in the valley
FBeneath the Cmountains Fhigh Cabove
And there twenty years thereafter
Jimmy Fwas to G7meet his Clove
All the chapel bells were ringing twas a great day in his G7life
Cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his Cwife
Then the little congregation E7prayed for guidance from Fabove
Lead us not into Ctemptation bless oh Lord this celeG7bration
May their life be filled with Clove
From the village hidden deep in the valley 
FOne rainy Cmorning Fdark and Cgrey
A soul winged it's way to heaven 
Jimmy FBrown had G7passed Caway
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley G7town
Twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy CBrown
And the little congregation E7prayed for guidance from Fabove
Lead us not into Ctemptation may his soul find the saG7lvation
Of Thy Fgreat eG7ternal Clove
