Seven Kids from the Valleys - Part Four of Seven

4

Don't tell her who they are

Tell her something, tell her she looks like a petal

Tell her they're gypsies, they travel about

Tell her about the market in Ponty and the live chickens and horses and carts

Tell her they live in Swansea or Abergavenny or Over The Hill

Tell her this was their real home

Don't tell her home, not home, tell her they're not going away

Don't tell her they don't like lava bread

Tell her to be careful.

Don't tell her who used to live in this town.

No but don't tell her her great great grandfather used to live in this house

No but don't tell her sheep used to sleep in her doll's house.

Tell her not to be rude to the fairies.

Tell her not to be bothered.

Don't forget to tell her about chwarae-teg, fair play now

Don't tell her she can't have them in the house.

Tell her she should have plenty of friends, as well as family

Tell her for miles and miles all round the land is everyone's land

Tell her again this is our welsh land and their welsh land

Don't tell her they said it was a land of hills, coastline  and sheep, without many people

Don't tell her I wouldn't have come if I'd known it was going to rain.

Tell her maybe we can share.

Don't tell her that we can't share.
