Dogs Eyes Owl Meat and Man Chop - The Men They Couldn't Hang

A furnace bellowed from the range

To scorch the winters chill

And the Spirit of Cyndyllan

Who hailed from Grongar Hill

True west he strode, through Cilsane Ford

Down by the water mill

For a pint then, at the Ship in Laugharne

Two thousand years to kill

He’s got two thousand years to kill

Dogs-Eyes, Owl Meat and Man-Chop

Half an ounce of shag, and a pint of Buckleys Top

Bible black, Captain Cat, where time and tide stand still

Like the Ghosts of Aberglasney, the mists of Grongar Hill

The mists of Grongar Hill

From Carreg-Cennen Castle to Paxton Tower Hill

In fields all by the Roman roads

The scene of bad blood spilled

From Twm o’r Gof to Golden Grove

And through the Towy Vale

Flows the lifeblood of the county

A shade of Nut-brown ale, a shade of Nut-brown ale

Dogs-Eyes, Owl Meat and Man-Chop

Dress them for the window, then splice them on the block

Bible black, Captain Cat, enjoy and drink your fill

To the Ghosts of Aberglasney, the mists of Grongar Hill

The mists of Grongar Hill

Merlins seat lies empty, it’s written in the gaol

If the old oak tree is severed, this town be doomed to fail

Latter day invaders come, build homes devoid of charm

«There's bugger all» cried Dylan

«I'll linger down in Laugharne

I’ll linger down in Laugharne»
