Souvenirs

I’ve travelled the byways of Cymru
Her mountains and valleys to view
The beauties of Penfro and Powis
And the lakes around Elan so blue.
I purchased a plaque up in Bangor
It pictured a wild Snowdon track
‘Cymru am Byth’ was on it
But ‘Made in Hong Kong’ on the back.

I heard the sweet bells near the Dyfi
And the lark rising clear in the sky
The singing of male voices thrilled me
As a tear trickled down from my eye
A Welsh hat I purchased in Cardiff
One tall, shiny and black
‘Cymry am Byth’ was on it
But ‘Made in Hong Kong’ on the back.

Now I am happily married
And I have a charming Welsh wife
Our garden so full of red roses
Is far from the maddening strife
Our heir was born in the Springtime
A fine handsome fellow named Jack
With eyes like the blue skies of Tenby
But I’m frightened to look at his back.
