THE BELLS OF RHYMNEY
"Oh what will you give me?" Say 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?" Say the sad bells of Rhymney
"Throw the vandels in court" Say the bells
of Newport
"All would be well if-if-if-if" Say the green bells
of Cardriff
"Why so worried sisters, why?" Say the silver bells
of Wye
"And what will you give me?" Say the sad bells of Rhymney
