O what will you give me
Say the bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
And 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 Neathe
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 would be well if, if, if
Say the green bells of Cardiff
Why so worried, sisters, why
Sing the silver bells of Wye
And what will you give me
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
