Harri Webb (Rampage & Revel) 'Guto Nyth Bran'

HARRI WEBB.
Rampage & Revel
Guto Nyth Bran

He was born on the mountain, he breathed its pure air
And nourished his frame on the good mountain fare
And in all our proud country there was no one who ran
Who could ever catch up with Bold Guto Nyth Bran.

Chorus: Make way on the mountain, make way down below
For one who runs swifter than strong winds that blow,
Give a cheer as he passes and catch him who can
For the fastest of runners is Guto Nyth Bran.

High over the Rhondda the farmstead is seen
Where Guto kept sheep on the hillside so green,
He needed no sheepdog, now beat this who can,
He outran all his flock, did fleet Guto Nyth Bran.

Chorus: Make way etc.

From Wales and wide England the challengers came
To the valleys all drawn by his peerless fame
But however they laboured, all comers he'd tan
They hadn't a hope against Guto Nyth Bran.

Chorus: Make way etc.

Twelve miles in an hour, seven minutes to spare,
From Bedwas to Newport, not turning a hair
And back as a winner according to plan
Was just one of the races of Guto Nyth Bran.

Chorus: Make way etc.

At the end of the race, his fair sweetheart, tis said,
Kissed Guto all breathless, and our hero fell dead,
So heed what I tell you, each young sporting man
And be warned by the fare of poor Guto Nyth Bran.

Chorus: Make way etc.

He died long ago and two centuries have gone
Since he ran his last race but his legend lives on,
And still at Llanwynno his gravestone we scan
And at Brynffynnon Inn drink to Guto Nyth Bran.

Chorus: Make way on the mountain, make way down below
For one who runs swifter than strong winds that blow,
Give a cheer as he passes and catch him who can
For the fastest of runners is Guto Nyth Bran.
