It's a Long Way to Abergavenny....


It's a long way to Abergavenny,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Abergavenny
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye, Rhondda Valley,
Farewell, Tiger Bay!
It's a long long way to Abergavenny,
But my heart's right there.



Cheers

  4. Even a hardened Welshman like myself has to say - Thin Lizzy not Max. Everytime.

    Of course, some of Max's songs need rewriting for Winter of 79 - "Duw, it's HE" and "The Pit Head Baths are a small arms factory now" spring to my twisted mind.

    Just keep Frank Hennessy out of it, please. In fact, speaking as Headshed of the Free Taffs, he's in "protective custody".

  5. LOL. Remember Maff it's TOTP not NME. This was the era that comedy or slightly off-centre songs could easily reach No.1.

    And yeah.... Thin Lizzy Whisky in The Jar...o
