The Bells of Rhymney

Lyrics

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 owner, say the black bells of Rhondda
 And who robbed the miner, 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 uneasy, 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 bells of Newport
 All will be well if, if, if, if, if, say the green bells of Cardiff
 Why so worried, sisters, why, sang the silver bells of Wye
 Oh 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 owner, say the black bells of Rhondda
 And who robbed 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 uneasy, 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 bells of Newport
 All will be well if, if, if, if, if ..., say the green bells of Cardiff
 Why so worried, sisters, why, sang the silver bells of Wye
 Oh what will you give me, say the sad bells of Rhymney
