Bells Of Rhymney
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
And who killed the miners
Say 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
Even God is screaming
Say the moist bells of Swansea
And what will you give me
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Throw the vandals in court
Say the loud bells of Newport
All would be well if
Say 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
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
And who killed the miners
Say the grim bells of Blaina
Who killed the miners...
Who killed the miners...
Who killed the miners...
Who killed the miners...
