Tell me, what will you give me
Say the sad bells of Rhymney 
Is there hope for the future 
Say the brown bells of Merthyr 

And who made the mine owner 
Say the black b
ells of Rhondda 
And who robbed the miners 
Say the grim bells of Blaina

They will plunder willy-nilly
Say 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
They will plunder willy-nilly
Say the bells of Caerphilly

Throw the vandals in court 
Say the bells of Newport 
And all would be well if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if
Say the green bells of Cardiff 

Why so worried, sister why 
Say the silver bells of Wye 
And what will you give me 
Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Throw the vandals in court 
Say the bells of Newport 
And all would be well if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if
Say the green bells of Cardiff 

Why so worried, sister why 
Say the silver bells of Wye
And what will you give me 
Say the sad bells of Rhymney

And what will you give me 
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
