lirik lagu cheese and bread – david rovics
[verse 1]
1831
the age of industry begun
for the working folk of wales life was short
with wages cut again
it was only sensible that then
folks took over *shut down* the debtor’s court
the gentry pulled the wire
told their men to open fire
and restore the rule of their estate
but as the night descended
and the battle ended
the soldiers had all fled behind the gatе
[chorus]
they chanted “cheese and brеad
and our children must be fed”
in the days when wales rose against the crown
they chanted “cheese and bread”
with a bl**dy loaf above their heads
when the red flag flew in merthyr town
[verse 2]
the message went out east and west
to put the gentry to the test
the calvary was ambushed and turned back
after so long playing defence
the time had come now when
the workers were the one on the attack
[chorus]
they chanted “cheese and bread
and our children must be fed”
in the days when wales rose against the crown
they chanted “cheese and bread”
with a bl**dy loaf above their heads
when the red flag flew in merthyr town
[verse 3]
the crown sent soldiers by the score
til order was restored
then came dic penderyn’s execution
another martyr for the cause
meant to give us pause
the next time people called for revolution
[chorus]
they chanted “cheese and bread
and our children must be fed”
in the days when wales rose against the crown
they chanted “cheese and bread”
with a bl**dy loaf above their heads
when the red flag flew in merthyr town
