American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
RING, MERRY BELLS. Copyright, 1891, by T. B. Harms & Co. By B. H. Janssen, and sung by Carroll Johnson In "The Gossoon." 
The wedding-bells that ring to-day tell us the story old. That ever since the world began by poets has been told; A tale of happy love and bliss, of hearts both light and gay; Two souls with but a single thought united are to-day. 
Chorus. Ring, ring, ring, ye merry bells, let the air resound with joy and gladness; Each peal happiness foretells, drive away all sorrow, care and sadness; King, ring, ring out clear and long, let your chimes be joyous aw our meeting; Peal a welcome true and strong, friendship gives the lovers welcome greeting. 
May wedding-bells that ring to-day, ring happiness for you. And may the love that fills your heart be faithful, always true; Then ev'ry cloud will roll away, and with it every pain; The joys and mem'ries of the past will all come back again. Chorus.
