Mrs Hammer’s Dream

Tommy Jones in his sailor’s suit was only 5 years old
He wore a whistle around his neck but no-one heard it blow
Some said the boy was kidnapped a travellers site was ransacked
He walked off into the darkness but never found his fathers arms

She dreamt of Tommy Jones, high on a hillside all alone
She dreamt of Tommy Jones

A gardener’s wife from Brecon unknown to the family
Heard stories of the missing child, she said she saw him in her dreams

Hеr husband borrowed a pony & trap and they set off for thе beacons
They’d never climbed those hills before, they didn’t know what they would find
Soldiers, farmers and volunteers walked the hills but failed
To find the boy or claim the reward put out by the Daily Mail

Mr Hammer found the spot exactly where she said
High on a ridge by Pen y Fan his tiny body lay dead
