Yep.
Edith Piaf released it in the early 1950's, then The Browns did an English language version released in the late 1950's.
I believe it was written by a Frenchman at the end of WWII and there was an English version by some group in the late 1940's that never took off.
It is the life story of Everyman.
It was also known as "Jimmy Brown" but that caused confusion with the song Rick and I were talking about which was written by Bill Hays in the 19th century,and is a Blue Grass standard, so it firmed up as "The Three Bells" --- and that's what is shown in this post:- three bells.
Can't get too serious about things. Makes life boring.
