23 Nov 1961 THE MCKENZIE TAPES - Home Recordings 1961-62 I WAS SO MUCH YOUNGER THEN Vol. 3     [Do It The Old Way!] (T-676)

First McKenzie tape, Home of Eve and Mac McKenzie, NYC - 23.nov.1961 Oh what will you give me? Say the sad bells of Rhymney. Is there hope for the future? Say the green bells of Merthyr. Who made the mine owner? Say the black bells of Rhondda. And who robbed the miner? Say the bells of Blaina. They will plunder willy-nilly Say the bells of Caerphilly They have fangs, they have teeth Say the loud bells of Neath Even God is uneasy Say the moist bells of Swansea And what will you give me? Say the bells of Rhymney. Throw the vandals in court Say the bells of Newport. All would be well, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if Say the green bells of Cardiff. Why so worried, sister, why? Say the silver bells of Wye. And what will you give me? Say the bells of Rhymney.
