| Song Lyrics: |
In the Tower of London, large as life
The ghost of Ann Boleyn walks, they declare
Poor Ann Boleyn 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 for having spilt her gore
And just in case the Headsman wants to give her an encore,
She has her head tucked underneath her arm!
With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower!
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the Midnight hour!
Along the draughty corridors for miles and miles she goes
She often catches cold, poor thing; it's cold there when it blows
And it's awfully awkward for the Queen to have to blow her nose
With her head tucked underneath her arm!
Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread
For all his gals and pals - a ghostly crew
The headsman carves the joint and cuts the bread,
Then in comes Ann Boleyn to "*****" the "do"!
She holds her head up with a wild war whoop
And Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"
With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower!
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the Midnight hour!
One night she caught King Henry; he was in the Canteen Bar
Said he, "Are you Jane Seymour, Ann Boleyn or Cath'rine Parr?
For how the sweet san fairy ann do I know who you are
With your head tucked underneath your arm?" (ChrisWolvie) |
