The 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

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

Say the bells of Caerphilly

They have fangs, they have teeth

Shout the loud bells of Neath

To the south, things are sullen

Say the pink bells of Brecon

Even God is uneasy

Say the moist bells of Swansea

Put the vandals in court

Cry the bells of Newport

All would be well if - if - if - if

Say the green bells of Cardiff

Why so worried, sisters, why?

Say the silver bells of Wye

And what will you give me?

Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Who robbed the miner?

Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Who robbed the miner?

Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Who robbed the miner?

Say the sad bells of Rhymney
