The Headstone of Christmas Evans

For those who visit Swansea
remember that it's where a legend sleeps

The Reverend Christmas Evans
the greatest preacher ever heard or seen

It is said that if you visit his graveside
and tell the man about your day
then close your eyes and kiss his headstone farewell
you will receive luck for the next few days

That is the story my Grandad told me as i'm telling it to you
so remember if you are in Swansea and down on your luck
then you know just what to do
