FAREWELL TO THE RHONDDA cho: Farewell ye colliery workers, the muffler and the cap Farewell ye Rhondda valley girls, we never will come back The mines they are a-closin', the valleys they're all doomed `There's no work in the Rhondda boys, we'll be in London soon My father was a miner, and his father was before him, He always had been proud to work the coal Since they fell 'neath Roben's axe, All the lads have had the sack So away to work in England we must go! No more the chapel singin', that long ago has left us And the public house no more the miner's songs For the boot wheels they are stoppin', And the populations' droppin' And I can't afford to stay here very long Treherbert and Treorchy, Tonypandy and Tynewydd Ystrad Rhondda and Ton Pentre, all adieu For I can no longer wait While Parliament debates So a fond farewell I bid to all of you! chorus (2x) @mining @work filename[ FRWHLRHND WH Apr98 |
