There's also one which Dr Price quotes in the thread on Welsh Drinking songs thread. "Yr Wyf I Little Collier" Yr wyf i little collier Un gweithio underground the rope will never torri When I go up and down Bara menyn when I'm hungry Cwrw when I'm dry Gwely when I'm tired and Nefoedd when I die Nefoedd when I die Nefoedd when I die Gwely when I'm tired and Nefoedd when I die. yr wyf i = I am yn gweithio = working torri = break bara menyn = bread and butter cwrw = beer gwely = bed nefoedd = heaven This is still current, certaily in the Merthyr Valley. It was also sung in the recent 'Coal House at War' series on BBC Wales.
