The Bells Lyrics By James Brown

    verse
    there are four black horses
    with eyes of flaming red
    their rovers are tied with ribbing
    all around my baby’s head
    the bells are ringing and their sail is going to sea
    yes i know why they’re ringing
    they ring on for me
    oh yea
    i wish i could see my baby
    this can’t happen to me
    no
    baby please forgive me
    i know i’ve caused you pain
    i’ll place your tears with diamonds
    just to see your face again
    the bells are ringing and they say i’ll go and see
    yes i know why they’re ringing
    they’re ringing out for me
    yea
    ashes into ashes
    dust to dust
    ashes into ashes
