Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams Ring them bell from the
sanctuaries, 'cross the valleys and streams For they're deep and they're
wide, and the world's on its side And time is a-runnin' backwards and so is
the bride
Ring them bells St. Peter where the four winds blow Ring
them bells with an iron hand so the people will know Oh it's rush hour now.
on the wheel of the plow And the sun is a-goin' down upon the sacred
cow
Ring them bells sweet Martha for the poor man's son Ring them
bells so the world will know that God is one For the shepherd is asleep
where the willow weep And the mountain is filled with lost sheep
Ring
them bells - for the blind and the deaf Ring them bells - all those who are
left Ring them bells - for the chosen few Who'll judge the many when the
game is through Ring them bells - for the time that flies For the child
who cries when innocence dies
Ring them bells St. Catherine from the top
of the roof Ring the bells from the fortress for the lilies that bloom For
the lines are long and the fighting is strong And they're breakin' down the
distance between right and wrong ¡¡
