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 killed the miner
Say the grim bells of Blaina
Throw the vandals in court
Say the bells of Newport
All would be well if 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 killed the miner
Say the grim bells of Blaina
Ah ah ah
Ah
Ah ah ah
