With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the tower of london, large as life, the ghost of anne bolyn walks they declare.
Poor anne bolyn was once king henry's wife until he made the headsman bob her hair.
Ah, yes, he did her wrong long years ago and she comes up at night to tell him so,
With her head 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. she's feeling very sore,
And just in case the headsman wants to give her an encore, she's has her head tucked underneath her arm.
The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in and when they had a few they shout, "is army going to win?"
They think that it's red grange instead of poor old ann bolyn with her head tucked underneath her arm.
Sometimes gay king henry gives a spread for all his pals and gals and ghostly crew.
The headsman craves the joint and cuts the bread then in comes anne bolyn to queer the do.
She holds her head up with a wild war whoop and henry cries, "don't drop it in the soup!"
