Jarosz, Sarah - Ring Them Bells Lyrics






Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride.

Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an ironhand
So the people will know
For it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going 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
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep

Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When the innocence dies.

Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
Oh the lines are long and the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong.

    there is a lot of covers of this great song - sarah did a great version - try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soBx8ZBsU-E

    Pure soul flow

  31. f.... ....

    Step aside *Gordon Lightfoot,* one of my all-time favorites, as this is a better cover of Dylan's _Ring Them Bells_ than your own.

    Mr Dylan: Please consider letting Sarah _own this song_

  32. a.... ....

    she is great though

  33. a.... ....

    what good covers like this do is show the depth and breadth of the song itself.

  37. K.... S....

    Sarah is Maria -she unites and keeps! bless!

  38. K.... S....

    Don't forget Sarahs mandolin skills. But the voice is like a diamond in the mud. I don't believe in God. But after this I pray for peace love, and sex!

    K.... S....

  41. g.... ....

    Anyone explain what ‘guitar ‘ that is that she is playing please ? Love that muted sound as well... thanks .

  42. g.... ....

    She’s my absolute favorite. I like this cover even better than Bob Dylan’s, and they’re both incredible.

  43. D.... B....

    I can't make out the lyrics!

  44. M.... ....

    holy fucking crap! She killed it.
    [Verse 1]
    Ring them bells, ye heathen
    From the city that dreams
    Ring them bells 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 running backwards
    And so is the bride


    [Verse 2]
    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 and the plow
    And the sun is going down
    Upon the sacred cow


    [Verse 3]
    Ring them bells Sweet Martha
    For the poor man’s son
    Ring them bells so the world will know
    That God is one
    Oh the shepherd is asleep
    Where the willows weep
    And the mountains are filled
    With lost sheep







    [Verse 4]
    Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
    Ring them bells for all of us who are left
    Ring them bells for the chosen few
    Who will judge the many when the game is through
    Ring them bells, for the time that flies
    For the child that cries
    When innocence dies


    [Verse 5]
    Ring them bells St. Catherine
    From the top of the room
    Ring them from the fortress
    For the lilies that bloom
    Oh the lines are long
    And the fighting is strong
    And they’re breaking down the distance
    Between right and wrong

  45. J.... J....

    Dat mic, tho.

    Perfecto.

  46. A.... H....

    This is a amazing song from Limerick Ireland 🇮🇪 👍

  47. M.... ....

  48. S.... ....

    talent beyond belief

  49. J.... T....

    she is just great, although i liked the earlier version with the young fiddle player better.

  50. C.... M....

    That's what it looks like when music flows through you.

  51. J.... P....

    This is so accomplished, 'I'm with her' and her and her! She/they surely show how it can be done . . ....

  52. C.... S....

    Wonderful. Hope Bob's heard this.

  53. C.... H....

    I love Sarah but too much echo on this version. I wonder why the recording engineer and producer thought it was necessary.

    C.... H....

    There's no echo on this version.

  54. J.... M....

    She does the best Dylan covers <3

  55. t.... M....

  58. T.... ....
