Verse 1
In The Village (Hymn)
Deep In The Valley
One Cold And Rainy Winter's Night
A Figure Could Be Seen Creeping
Through The Early Misty Light
A Ten-Foot Ladder On His Shoulder
A Heavy Hammer In His Hand
What Had He Been Doing?
What Mischief Had He Planned?
Verse 2
Early. Early Sunday Morning
A Vicar Went To Morning Prayer
He Found The Church Was Chilly
There Was Something In The Air
The Marble Font Was Overflowing
There Was Water Everywhere
He Looked Up To The Ceiling
And Found...it Wasn't There
Chorus 1
(Baum) (Baum) (Baum)...
(Baum) (Baum)
Oh The Chapel Lead Was Missing
(Baum) (Baum)
And The Rain Was Pouring Down
(Baum) (Baum)
When They Asked Who Could Have Done It
(Baum) (Baum)
They All Blamed Jimmy Brown
(Baum) (Baum) (Baum)...
While The Little Congregation
(Baum) (Baum)
Prayed For Sunshine From Above
(Baum) (Baum)
Cause The Temp'ry Corregation
(Baum)
Leaves Them Wet To Saturation
(Baum)
'Til They Thought The Place Might Burst
Verse 3
Deep. Deep In The Valley
One Cold And Rainy Monday Morn
The Police Were Out There Searching
But Jimmy Brown Had Gone
They Eventually Found Him
Complete With Torch And Bag Of Tools
He'd Been At His Old Business
Pinching Drainpipes From The School
Verse 4
"Please, Come Along With Me Now"
This Friendly Word They Said To Him
"I'll Offer No Resistance"
Soon Replied Our Sonny-Jim
When Jimmy Brown Was Questioned
This Is What The Poor Boy Said
"I Only Pinched The Drainpipes.
Someone Else Took All The Lead."
Chorus 2
(Baum) (Baum) (Baum)...
(Baum) (Baum)
And The Chapel Lead's Still Missing
(Baum) (Baum)
And The Rain's Still Pouring Down
(Baum) (Baum)
Though They're Sure Who Is The Culprit
(Baum) (Baum)
The Lead Still Can't Be Found
(Baum) (Baum) (Baum)...
And The Little Congregation
(Baum) (Baum)
Prayed For Sunshine From Above
(Baum) (Baum)
But Their Constant Meditation
(Baum)
Will Not Pay For Restoration
(Baum)
Of The Little Church They Love
Verse 5
Deep. Deep In The Valley
One Cold And Rainy Tuesday Morn
Our Jim Was In The Cooler
Wishing He Had Not Been Born
They Questioned Him For Many Hours
But Still Poor Jim He Wouldn't Tell
They Blamed Him For The Church Roof
And The Missing Bell As Well
Verse 6
Deep. Deep In The Valley
One Cold And Rainy Wednesday Morn
The Police Took Jim His Breakfast
But Again Our Jim Was Gone
The Sargeant Walked Into The The Cellblock
And Saw That It Was Bare
He Looked Up To The Ceiling
Of Course, It Wasn't There
Chorus 3
(Gone) (Gone) (Gone)...
(Gone) (Gone)
And The Chapel Lead's Still Missing
(Gone) (Gone)
And The Rain's Still Pouring Down
(Gone) (Gone)
And The Organ Isn't Playing
(Gone) (Gone)
Cause The Organist Has Drowned
(Gone) (Gone) (Gone)...
The Collection Box Is Missing
(Gone) (Gone)
And The Vicar Can't Be Found
(Gone) (Gone)
And The Little Congregation
(Gone)
Needs A Lot Of Medication
(Gone) (Gone)
Cause The Curch Has Fallen Down
(Gone) (Gone) (Gone) (Gone) (Gone)
