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 Rhonda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of Bliana

Throw the vandals in court
Say the bells of New Port
All would be well if if if if if if
Say the green bells of Cardiff
Why so worried sisters, why?
Say the silver bells of Wye
Oh 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 Rhonda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of Bliana
