How Black Was My Valley?

Green into black black into green
How black was my valley never again
Moors above town boys out fishing
Walkers rambling lovers are searching

Estate above town children are spinning
Washing lines waving bus shelters raving
Land above town larks are fluting
Heather is spreading animals are rooting are rooting

Green into black black into green
How black was my valley never again
Moors above town boys ‘ud be gasping
Walkers halted lovers asking

Estate above town children ‘ud be leaving
Bus shelters raging washing lines disappearing
Land above town lark ‘ud be fleeing
Heather quick drying animals never seeing never seeing

Green into black black into green
Yeh people are rising saying never again
