Dave Cohen - Owain Glyndŵr: First Prince of Wales lyrics

[OWAIN GLYNDWR ] I'm a welsh noble I mobilised Wales against the English (He is Owain Glyndŵr!) Fought King Henry Four Because Wales abhorred English rule (It's not unusual!) But my uprising It went a bit wrong and this song tells the surprising tale Owain Glyndŵr! Welsh hero of the hour! It all began 'Cause my neighbour, 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 (From the green gra** of [?]) Not really true But more than a few were convinced. (We were ready to fight!) So, I decided To take up 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 We claimed Welsh ground, then in Hereford rain meant 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 (So what's new, p**ycat?) But Henry the Fourth had dried off And revenge was his game ([?] he'd help himself) We were defeated, He blocked supplies to Wales, our crops failed and starvation came. Owain Glyndŵr! 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 Glyndŵr! Father of the fight for Welsh power Welsh legend holds That should Wales ever need someone bold. I'll rise up to help them Mind you, I'm six hundred years old! Henffych well i'are arwr mawr Cymru Owain Glyndŵr!
