Yes, the day before yesterday he was buried,
At the Twynau cemetery.
It’s sure to be twenty five years
Since she was buried:
I didn’t see the gravestone
Because all the earth
Had been thrown over the top of it.
Was I there? Well, yes, I was,
Because I happened to be down there staying with friends
From Wednesday night til this evening:
You know that I like
Going back there now and again!

This time,
I thought of going down to Cardiff
Saturday morning, up until the match in the afternoon.
But I heared about the funeral..
Yeah, yeah, before twelve ‘see-
Because all the gravediggers are in the Union now
And they won’t do anything on a Saturday afternoon.

I can’t not go
To the old boy’s funeral.
He was good to me years back.
