Jones, Tom - Come Home Rhondda Boy Lyrics
[Spoken]:
At the end of the First World War weary men returned from the battlefield in Europe to a land fit for heroes
Some how things don't turn out that way
You see the Mine Lords in the country told the miners that they have to work for longer hours for less wages
On the street through out the Rhonda valley in South Wales the battle cries rose
Times were hard, children went hungry
Many people left the valley of Wales to try and make better life for themselves in cities all over the World
This song is dedicated to them and their descendants
So you went and left your the valley all those years ago
And many were the young men at the time
And as you left the station you saw that you were leaving
The rivers, the mountains and the mines
You came into the city left your friends at home
The heartbeat of the Rhondda is not the thing to see
But it's always calling out your name
Come home, come home to where you belong
Back to the Rhondda, your land of soul
The bright lights of the city are not what they seem
Come home Rhondda boy where the valleys are green
[Spoken]:
So all of your life you've been home since you left your valley. Now you know nothing can compare
Where else in all over this wide world could you stand on a mountain and hear a thousand voices fill the air
Come home, come home to where you belong
Back to the Rhondda, your land of soul
The bright lights of the city are not what they seem
Come home, Rhondda boy, where the valleys are green

I remember hearing this lovely song back in 1981, friends.Remembered the phrase" The Mine Lords" and also the lyric"Come home, back to the Rhondda".A quite lovely,and a fine singer, Tom Jones to sing it.God bless this song, and Tom Jones too.

Here is the link https://youtu.be/utm_NzfXg80 . I have even made a comment there. Mr Hugo himself also comment on your channel check below. Earlier i used to search for the past few years before Mr. Hugo uploaded. This particular songs means alot to me so thanks again to you and Mr Hugo. I know this songs is sung by Chris Kavanah, David Alexander and others. But compared with Jones. Jones sung it so well. It's unbelievable. He is a living Legend. I can still recall the memories i had when i first hear this songs and all the songs in this album are great, Pliz can u upload others songs too in this album.
Tom Jones is in a rare class of exceptional talents...truly combining his voice with his heart and soul ...often so very sublime .
Agree completely, I believe,his tremendous talent has not ever truly been appreciated.
Its so lovely and my name RHONDA is Welsh origin.. just wish Tom put more pics of the beautiful place RHONDDA than himself.. to let the photos reflect the lovely words of the song..
excelente!
very nice
Tom's Voice is unmatched no matter what he sings.
Tom Jones
David alexander sings this one far better
Still love tom though

The translation of this Welsh phrase is I believe"Wales forever!", Please, Please, my dear Welsh friend, am I correct maybe? Anyway, vielen dank, mein lieber Freund, and God bless you, and your lovely land of Wales.
Derlin Clair, you are correct. Diolch {thanks} for your interest in Wales, the beloved Land of my Fathers.
never heard this song before but tom sings it so well a great song from tom with a big lik number 20 les attridge take a listen to my tribute to tom with my song repent on my channel les attridge
got to say david alexander does sing the valley songs better than tom but nothing else tom can sing any kind of music dance or ballads david always sang ballads but got to say they were good
i think that both are grate
only david alexander can sing this
Jamie Mccarthy I completely agree David Alexander is much better
yes David was a fab singer knew him well sang in Spain with him i sing all these songs my self .colin carrington south wales god bless David Rip
What drugs are you on tony?
David alexander blinds him
tom the best
Tom is miles better in my opinion
As a 'descendant', I can feel this song in my soul.
Yes, I, ve read, and seen some pictures of Wales.It looks like quite a lovely land with lush, green valleys, and mountains, my friend.My 23&Me DNA test says that I, m 20% Irish&British,which most probably includes some ancestry from.Wales.This is to be expected, since the Anglo-Norman invaders of Ireland.in 1169 brought some Welshmen along with them to the island.In fact, one Irish surname, Walsh means" WELSH", thus designating a descendant of one of the Welshmen who accompanied the Normans to Ireland.Anyway, my best wishes, my friend, and God bless you, and your lovely ancestral homeland of Wales.
