The Bells Of Rhymney Lyrics

Artist: The Byrds
Album: Mister Tambourine Man

Oh, what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney.
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of Merther.
Who made the mine open?
Say the black bells of Rhonda.
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of Lina.

Who aband' us in court?
Say the bells of Newport.
All will be well if-if-if-if-if,
Say the green bells of Cardiff.
Why so worried, sister why?
Say the silver bells of Whye.
And what will you give me?
say the sad bells of Rhymney.

Oh, what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rymney.
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of Merther.
Who made the mine open?
Say the black bells of Rhonda.
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of Lina.
