THE BELLS OF RHYMNEY
THE BELLS OF RHYMNEY
music by Pete Seeger, lyrics by Idris Davies, copyright © 1957
O what can you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Cry the brown bells of Merthyr
Who made the mineowner?
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
Even God is uneasy
Say the moist bells of Swansea
And what can you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Throw the vandals in court
Cry the bells of Newport
All would be well if — if — if --
Say the green bells of Cardiff
Why so worried, sisters, why
Sing the silver bells of Wye
And what can you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
