    Here are the lyrics:

    Artist/Band: Brown Jim Ed
    Lyrics for Song: Three Bells (Les Trois Cloches)
    Lyrics for Album: The Essential Jim Ed Brown & the Browns


    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
    All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
    And the songs 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
    All the chapel bells were ringing twas a great day in his life
    For the songs 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 oh Lord 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 which wait in the heaven Jimmy Brown had passed away
    Just the lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
    Twas there well it was singing to our good old Jommy Brown
    And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
    Lead us not into temptation may his soul find this salvation of Thy great eternal love

    The lyrics I posted seem a little off in the last verse. I'm sure that one line (5th from the end) should be "A soul winged its way to heaven . . ." and I think the 3rd line from the end is not quite right, either, but you get the idea.
