Owain Glyndwr Lyrics

I'm a welsh noble, I noblised Wales against the
English.
(He is Owain Glyndwr!)
Fought King Henry four because Wales aboard English
rule.
(It's not unusual!)
But my uprising, it went a bit wrong and this song
tells the surprising tale.

O-O-Owain Glyndwr!
Welsh hero, of the hour!
It all began 'cause my neighbors of vindictive men,
Baron Grey De Ruthen was spreading untrue things 'bout
me!

Said I was a rebel who planned to repel England's king,
(On the green grass of home!)
Not really true but more than a few were convinced.
(We were ready to fight!)
So, I decided, to take on the mantle, 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 gonna dance now!

I had great plans for new government, new law and
churches.
(Oh, what's new p*ssycat?)
But Henry the fourth had dried off and revenge was his
deed.
(He thought he'd help himself!)
We were defeated, he blocked supplies to Wales,
Our crops failed and starvation came.

Owain Glyndwr!
My family sent to the tower.
As Welsh towns fell and we all know that never ends
well.
So I disappeared 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 but mind you I'm six hundred years
old!

Benffych well encarwr mawr Cymru
Owain Glyndwr!
