There's a village hidden deep in the valley,
F         C          F       C
among the pine trees half forlorn.

And there on a sunny morning,
       F           G   C
little Jimmy Brown was born.

guide him with eternal love.'

From the village hidden deep in the valley,

one rainy morning dark and gray..

a soul winged its way to Heaven,
F               G       C
Jimmy Brown had passed away.

Just a lonely bell was ringing, in the little valley town,
                                    C7                  F
'twas farewell that it was singing, to our little Jimmy Brown.
