In the chorus, when he sings Calon Lan and ..... what are the next words?

In our little valley They closed the collery down And the pithead baths is a supermarket now Empty gurneys red with rust Roll to rest admist the dust And the pithead baths is a supermarket now 'Cause it's hard Duw it's hard It's harder than they will ever know And it's they must take the blame The price of coal's the same But the pithead baths is a supermarket now They came down here from England Because our outputs low Briefcases full of bank clerks That had not never been below And they'll close the valley's oldest mine Pretending that they're sad But don't you worry butty bach We're really very glad 'Cause it's hard Duw it's hard Harder than they will ever know And it's they must take the blame For the price of coal's the same But the pithead baths is a supermarket now My clean clothes locker's empty now I've thrown away the key And I've sold my boots and muffler And my lampcheck 153 But I can't forget the times we had The laughing midst the fear 'Cause everytime I cough I get A mining souvenir 'Cause it's hard Duw it's hard Harder than they will ever know And it's they must take the blame The price of coal's the same But the pithead baths is a supermarket now I took my old helmet home with me Filled it full of earth And I planted little flowers there They grew for all their worth And it's hanging in the glasshouse now A living memory Reminding me they could have grown In vases over me 'Cause it's hard Duw it's hard It's harder than they will ever know And it's they must take the blame The price of coal's the same But the pithead baths is a supermarket now But I know the local Magistrate She's got a job for me Though it's only counting buttons In the local factory We get coffee breaks and coffee breaks Coffee breaks and tea And now I know those dusty mines Have seen the last of me 'Cause it's hard Duw it's hard Harder than they will ever know And if ham was underground Would it be twelve bob a pound The pithead baths is a supermarket now Aye the pithead baths it's a supermarket now

Beautifully sung... love Max Boyce... I still have my great Granchers Lamp Check No.1 from Marine Colliery, Cwm... welsh Miners from the valleys, the salt of the earth!

I am, half Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 & love him& Rugby 🏉

THIS IS ALSO WHY I DISLIKE WINSTON CHURCHILL... He turned guns on Women & children.. He was SCUM!

He’s up there with the best!

I'm Irish and love Max Boyce ❤

A great song Max is brilliant

talented man max and sings from the heart

This is what it means to be welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

Brilliant in London now ex Met Mtd Branch. Since moving 1978 still miss home Bryncoch,Nr Neath.

Grew up with Max in the background. Good one, man. You're a superstar.

Such National pride in the Welsh...keep it that way...don't go the way England's gone...Stay Welsh...not multicultural!

Brilliant just love him xx

I was a young lad watching max on tv. When i heard this. It was a real eye opener. Miners lost a lot. And gain a souvenir. Miners cough.

Just love you Max Eileen and Brian SWINSCOE

Max is a true Welshman and I love his singing.

Why can’t we leave the anthem to the likes of Max Boyce or the Welsh fans

One of the nicest person on the planet. The amount of money he raised for charity in Wales and never took a penny, a true gentleman.

Max Boyce makes me wish that I was Welsh

wow...this song reaches back 100years into previous generations ....very moving

Much loved since I was a child ❤

This man is an absolute legend

I'm welsh and I am massive fan of max Boyce and avicii

I've heard of the Scottish trip the trip to france and the trip to Rome but not yet heard of the trip to Ireland. Probably waiting for a win before that one comes out

Just brilliant. Love you max xxx. Eileen and Brian

A good friend of mine sings this around the camp fire. Brings a little tear to my eye.

Why hasn't Max Boyce received a Knighthood for services to entertainment?

Ryder cup fans singing this brilliant tune

Can't beat Max.

Thank you so much. When is going to be Sir Max

Brilliant thank you so much. Eileen xx

Tracey Gates you are the best Singer in Wales and around the World Max Boyce iove from Wales UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌍💻😇😇😎😎💌

Its about time he was made SIR Max Eileen and Brian

A rather silly relative of mine was having the usual rant about Mrs T closing all the pits so I asked him if they re -opened a local pit if he'd go back down. "Don't be stupid boy how can I with this cough of mine". Black phlegm coughed up each time.

My enduring memory of a Forest of Dean miner walking up the hill past Cinderford library. Oxygen bottle in his hand, he would take a few steps before stopping to use his bottle.

1st time I’ve heard this...absolutely fuckin brilliant.

Watching this from New Zealand. Brings a tear to my eye

I'm from Durham(North east England), but grew up listening Max's albums thanks to a Welsh Aunt. He is a Legend!

My dad used to listen to this in the car when I was a kid, now 48 and it brings back so many memories, RIP dad
