The Death Of Queen Jane

Queen Jane lay in labour

Full nine days or more

'Til her women so tired

They could no longer bare

They could no longer bare

Good women, good women

Good women that ye my 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 never can be

We will send for King Henry

And hear what he might say

And hear what he might say"

King Henry was sent for

King Henry he did come

Saying, "What ails thee 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?

That's to open my right side

And find my baby

And find my baby

"Oh, no," cried King Henry

"That's a thing that I'll 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 dancing

On the day the babe was born

But poor Queen Jane of England

Lay cold as the stone

Lay cold as the stone
