Owain Glyndwr

I'm a welsh noble, I noblised WLaes against the English

Fought King Henry four because Wales aboard English fields

But my uprising, it went a bit wrong and this song tells the surprising tale

Owain GLyndwr

Welsh hero, of the hour

It all began 'cause my neighbour's a vindictive man

Baron Grey De Ruthen was spreading untrue things 'bout me

Said I was a rebel who planned to repel England's king

Not really true but more than a few were convincd

So, I decided, to take on the mental, was given the handle of Prince

Of Wales

You don't have to be Welsh to feel Welsh pride

Even kingsman Henry Hotspur ended up on my side

He claimed Welsh ground, then in Hereford rain

The king nearly drowned, washed away in his tent

So partly thanks to Welsh weather

I was crowned, think I'm gunna dance now

I had great plans for new government, new law and churches

But Henry the fourth had dried off and revenge was his game

We were defeated, he blocked supplies to Wales

Our crops failed and starvation came

Owain Glyndwr

My family sent to the tower

Hell! Welsh towns fell and we all know that never ends well

So I dissappeared but my name is revered throughout Wales

Owain Glyndwr

Father of the fight for Welsh power

Welsh legend holds that should Wales ever need someone bold

I'll rise up to help, mind you I'm six hundred years old

Henffych well i'r arwr mawr Cymru

Owain Glyndwr
