Horrible Histories - Owain Glyndwr Lyrics

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
