HAVE YOU SEEN
HAVE YOU SEEN
THE PRICE OF COAL
IT'S MUCH TOO HIGH
HAVE YOU SEEN
HAVE YOU SEEN
THE PRICE PAID FOR COAL
IT'LL MAKE YOU CRY
WHEN YOU REALISE
FROM SENGHENYDD
IN NINETEEN NINE
MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED DIED
TO ABERFAN IN SIXTY SIX
WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD CRIED
ON A MOUNTAINSIDE
A GENERATION DIED
AND THEY ALL PAID
THEY ALL PAID
THE REAL PRICE OF COAL
IT WAS TOO HIGH
GOD BLESS THEM
GOD BLESS THEM
AND GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS
IT'LL MAKE YOU CRY
WHEN YOU REALISE
THE BROTHERS, THE LOVERS
THE FATHERS AND SONS
THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON
FOR COAL BY THE TONNE
HEROES EVERYONE
HEROES EVERYONE
AND THAT'S THE REAL PRICE
THE REAL PRICE THEY PAID
FOR COAL
IT WAS TOO HIGH
THAT THEY SHOULD DIE
THAT'S THE PRICE OF COAL...
