Merthyr's Song

Dance on my grave,Taffy,Taffy,
see if I care.
When I drew breath,Taffy,Taffy,
no man would dare.


Power to the rich,Taffy,Taffy,
coal to the poor.
Lace for my window,Taffy,Taffy,
death at your door.


Dowlais behind,Taffy,Taffy,
Merthyr before.
When you are dead,Taffy,Taffy,
even the score


Dance on my grave,Taffy,Taffy,
dance if you dare,
for I lie in Vaynor,Taffy,Taffy,
I do not care.
