Johnny Cash - Ringing the Bells for Jim lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Ringing the Bells for Jim lyrics]
A wrong time for church bells to chime
He went to the tower
Found a little girl there
Said, "Why ring the bells at this time?"
I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
Please father, ringing the bells for Jim
I'm sorry
I'm crying but my brother Jim's dying
So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim
Please father, pray for him this Christmas
He's sick and he's in so much pain
The doctors all say, he'll be gone any day
So, I must ring the bells again
I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
Please father, ringing the bells for Jim
I'm sorry
I'm crying but my brother Jim's dying
And I'm ringing the bells for Jim
On the day after Christmas she brought him
Said, "Father, heed little Jim
You see, he got well
When he heard the church bells
I was ringing the bells for Jim"
I'm just ringing the bells for Jim
Please father, ringing the bells for Jim
Sorry I'm crying but my brother Jim's dying
So, I'm ringing the bells for Jim
