BELLS OF RHYMNEY



Oh what will you give me

Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Is there hope for the future

Cry the brown bells of Merthyr

Who made the mine owner

Say the black bells of Rhondda

And who robbed the miner

Cry the grim bells of Blaina



They will plunder willy-nilly

Cry the bells of Caerphilly

They have fangs, they have teeth

Say the loud bells of Neathe

Even God is uneasy

Say the moist bells of Swansea

They will plunder willy-nilly

Say the bells of Caerphilly

Put the vandals in court

Say the bells of Newport

All would be well if, if, if

Cry the green bells of Cardiff

Why so worried, sisters, why

Sang the silver bells of Wye

And what will you give me

Say the sad bells of Rhymney
