+ | ====== Anne Boleyn ====== | ||
+ | by R.L. Weston and Bert Lee | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the Tower of London, large as life, | ||
+ | The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare. | ||
+ | For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry' | ||
+ | Until he had the headsman bob her hair. | ||
+ | Oh, yes, he did her wrong long years ago, | ||
+ | And she comes back at night to tell him so. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chorus: | ||
+ | With her 'ead tucked underneath her arm, | ||
+ | She walks the bloody Tower, | ||
+ | With her head tucked underneath her arm, | ||
+ | At the midnight hour. | ||
+ | |||
+ | She comes to haunt King Henry, she means giving him what-for | ||
+ | Gadzooks, she's going to tell him off, for spilling of her gore. | ||
+ | And just in case the headsman wants to give her encore, | ||
+ | She has her head tucked underneath her arm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread, | ||
+ | For all his pals and gals, a ghastly crew, | ||
+ | The ' | ||
+ | When in comes Anne Boleyn to queer the do. | ||
+ | She holds her head up with a wild war whoop, | ||
+ | And Henry cries, " | ||
+ | |||
+ | She walks the endless corridors, for miles and miles she goes, | ||
+ | She often catches cold, poor dear, it's drafty when it blows, | ||
+ | And it's awfully, awfully awkward for the queen to blow her nose, | ||
+ | With her head tucked underneath her arm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in, | ||
+ | And when they' | ||
+ | They think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Anne Boleyn | ||
+ | With her head tucked underneath her arm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar, | ||
+ | He said, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, or Catherine Parr? | ||
+ | Well, how are? | ||
+ | With your head tucked underneath your arm? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recorded in the early 30s by, of all people, Rudy Vallee; also | ||
+ | (later, I think) by Stanley Holloway. RG | ||
+ | Note: Henry VIII only beheaded two of his wives - | ||
+ | Anne Boleyn and Kate Howard. Remember : divorced | ||
+ | (Katherine of Aragon), beheaded(Anne B), died (Jane | ||
+ | Seymour); divorced (Anne of Cleves), beheaded (Kate | ||
+ | Howard), survived(Kate Parr). (SOF) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | "The guards all think that it's a football that she carries in | ||
+ | And when they' | ||
+ | They think that it's Alec James instead of poor old Anne Boleyn etc." | ||
+ | |||
+ | and | ||
+ | "for how the sweet san fairy ann do I know who you are" | ||
+ | |||
+ | (a later addition) | ||
+ | The sentries think that Anee is hauling 'round a rugby ball; | ||
+ | When dinner' | ||
+ | And then the'll choose up sides and kick the Queen around the hall! | ||
+ | With 'er 'ead tucked underneath 'er arm! | ||
