Bells Of Rhymney Lyrics


Oyster Band 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

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...
