The Bells Of Rhymney
Pete Seeger | Idris Davies“Oh what will you give me?”
Sang the sad bells of Rhymney
“Is there hope for the future?”
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
“Who made the mine owners?”
Say the black bells of Rhondda
“Who robbed the miners?”
Say the grim bells of Blyna
“They will plunder willy nilly”
Say the bells of Caerphilly
“They have fangs, they have teeth”
Shout the loud bells of Neath
“Even God is uneasy”
Say the moist bells of Swansea
“And what will you give me?”
Sang the sad bells of Rhymney
“Throw the vandals in court”
Say the bells of Newport
“All would be well if-if-if-if”
Say the green bells of Cardiff
“Why so worried sisters, why?”
Sang the silver bells of Wye
“And what will you give me?”
Sang the sad bells of Rhymney
