Jimmy Bell
(Song features Meat Loaf only)
I have found it very difficult to transcribe the lyrics to this song. It became clear, despite my best efforts, that I would be unable to decipher the lyrics to my satisfaction from Meat Loaf's version. I therefore managed, at some considerable cost, to find a couple of versions of the song by other artists. This has helped immensely and though I cannot of course guarantee that the lyrics here are correct I am reasonably confident that there are not too many errors.
(These are of course not official lyrics but only my opinion. Please do not reproduce my opinions on other web sites without my permission. Thank you.) Lyrics
Jimmy Bell's in town
Walking all around
He's got some dreams himself
And some other good stuff now babe
Bring your man to see it now honeyJimmy Bell's in the pulpit
Bible in his hand
Good lord now three sisters in the corner crying
Jimmy Bell's my man now babe
Jimmy Bell's my manJimmy Bell calls the sexton
Come and toll your bell for me
Cause there's some of these old members here
Don't you know
They're going to hell, hell, hell
Jimmy BellJimmy Bell calls the children
Wont you bring your sins to me
Five dollars here, you know
It's gonna save your soul
So little to pay, don't you knowJimmy Bell calls the sexton
Come and toll your bell for me
Cause there's some of these old, old members here
Don't you know
They're going to hell, hell, hell
Oh Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Bell
