Thread Name: ADD: Rhondda song from the big hewer
Subject: RE: Req: the big hewer-track 14 songs
As Stewie says, next comes a men's chorus singing with a march tune:
In every village in the Rhondda Children cry for want of meat Throughout the land their fathers wander Singing for pennies in the street
Can anyone identify this song? The track ends with the men's chorus singing something that may be Welsh. Part of it could be the original of "In every village..." - but then the tune seems to change, so it could be yet another song. Can anybody enlighten us? -Joe-
