I rung the bell Way down in the ????? I rung the bell The song is buzzing through my head and driving me crazy. Can somebody help before thye take me away :-) |

From: Jeri Leap of illogic: My first thoughts were of the Corpus Christi Carol sung by the Voice Squad (Male, Irish and acapella) "Down in yon forest there stands a hall, The bells of Paradise I hear them ring; It's covered all over with purple and pall And I love my Lord Jesus above any thing." |

It didn't sound more like "And off in the distance, there rang a bell, and off in the distance, there rang a bell, and it rang for the saints and the sinners as well, and off in the..." did it? The lyrics as you wrote them sound very shantyesque, and that almost rings a... thingie with me. |

04 Sep 09 - 12:14 PM (#2716193) Subject: RE: Can anybody name the song & singers? From: Jeri David Francey (Canadian) wrote it. The title is 'Saints and Sinners'. I'll see if I can find more info on the group who sang it. Anybody want to guess it was Voice Squad? |
