The Death Of Queen Jane

Queen Jane lay in labor full nine days or more

'Til her women grew so tired, they could no longer there

They could no longer there

Good women, good women, good women as you be

Will you open my right side and find my baby

And find my baby

Oh no, cried the women, that’s a thing that can never be

We will call on King Henry and hear what he may say

And hear what he may say

King Henry was sent for, King Henry did come

Saying: What does ail you, my lady?

Your eyes, they look so dim

Your eyes, they look so dim

King Henry, King Henry, will you do one thing for me?

Will you open my right side and find my baby

And find my baby

Oh no, cried King Henry, that’s a thing that I can never do

If I lose the flower of England, I shall lose the branch too

I shall lose the branch too

There was fiddling and danci ng on the day the babe was born

But poor Queen Jane beloved, she lay cold as a stone

Lay cold as a stone
