The bells are ringing for me and my gal.
The birds are singing for me and my gal.
Everybody’s been knowing to a wedding they’re going,
And for weeks they’ve been sewing, every Susie and Sal!
They’re congregating for me and my gal.
The parson’s waiting for me and my gal.
And sometime I’m gonna to guild a little home for two,
Or three or four or more—
In Loveland for me and my gal!
Don’t you know your not supposed to ask for whom the bell tolls? 'Cause now you’re in trouble.
If it was a Catholic church then it was almost certainly the bells being rung during the Easter Vigil mass. The rubrics require that the church bells are rung throughout the singing of the *Gloria * on Holy Saturday.
I’m always ready to post a TYO reference!
