Lyrics

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
