Pennydarren

Sun wakes up and shines upon

The tips of Penydarren

An old man lights his pipe and spends

Another day remembering

All the years and all the fears

Just a-sweatin' in a coal mine

Walkin' through the trees and feelin' the breeze

And drinkin' till later night, ooh

Take me back to the hills

Take me back to South Wales

Take me back to the hills

Take me home

Standing in the doorways like they do every day

Engaged in nosey chatter

A penny for the children, a shilling for the gas

And nothing else much matters

Mrs. Davis all alone

Just a-sittin' by the fire

Her daughter died, the whole town cried

Around the funeral pyre, ooh

Take me back to the hills

Take me back to South Wales

Take me back to the hills

Take me home

Take me back to the hills

Take me back to South Wales

Take me back to the hills

Take me home

Take me back to the hills

Take me back to South Wales

Take me back to the hills

Take me home

Take me back to the hills

Take me back to South Wales

Take me back to the hills
