Judy Collins - The Bells of Rhymney lyrics

Words by Idris Davies Music by Pete Seeger 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 k**ed the miner? Say the grim bells of Blaina Put the vandals in court Say the bells of Newport All would be well if, if, if, 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 owner? Say the black bells of Rhondda And who k**ed the miner? Say the grim bells of Blaina They will plunder willy-nilly, Cry the bells of Caerphilly. They have fangs, they have teeth, Say 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 Put the vandals in court Say the bells of Newport. All would be well if, if, if, Cry 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.
