So wear your leeks and daffodils And sing for all you'r worth Give praise to dear old Cymru The land that gave you birth	2 Thanks to our friends from Newport Though their journey here's been long A warm welcome to our seaside town And for joining us in song We really are so grateful For your coming all this way And for singing songs of Gwalia On this St Davids Day
3 He brought the Christian gospel To our people long ago Built monasteries and churches Where the peaceful waters flow St Patrick, George and Andrew Were as great men - this I grant But none so brave and virtuous As Wales' Dewi Sant	4 He was Dewi Sant our patron He was our nations' pride And tonight we all remember him On the day that Dewi died They say he worked the miracles' That he gave the blind their sight If Dewi was alive today 'Beat the French we might!
5 It's thanks to Doctor Jaimie For his promotion of this cause Can't he tell blind English referees to learn the b***** laws It's not a SAD occaision Though the charity has that name But a time of celebration And I hope you're glad you came	6 Many thanks to Mair & Frank & all To Anghard our guest soloist For all their dedicated effort and a show not to be missed Our thanks to you the audience For coming here tonight And supporting such a worthy cause It's been our great delight.
