Sir Simon de Montford my subject shall bee
Once chief of all
the great barons was hee
Yet fortune so cruelle this lord did abase
Now lost and forgotten
are he and his race
Ah me and ah me
Ah me and ah me
The rosebud and the
briar
When the barons in arms did King Henry oppose
Sir Simon de Montford
their leader they chose
A leader of courage undaunted was he
And ofttimes he made their
enemies flee
At length in the battle on Eveshame Plain
The barons were routed and
Montford was slain
Along with the nobles that fell at that tide
Was his eldest son Henry,
who fought by his side
A baron's fair daughter stept forth in the night
To find her
father who fell in that fight
And seeing young Henry where gasping he lay
Was moved with
pity and brought him away
In secret she nurst him and swayed his pain
While he
elsewhere was believed to be slain
At length his fair bride she consented to be
And this
was thy mother, my pretty Bessie
Thus many long winters now have I been
The silly
blind beggar of Bednan Green
And thus have you learned a secret from me
That ne'er had
been known but for pretty Bessie
