The Death of Queen Jane lyrics

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 that ye 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

To hear what he may say

And hear what he may say

King Henry was sent for

King Henry he did come

Saying what 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 dancing

On the day the babe was born

But for Queen Jane, beloved

She laid cold as a stone

Laid cold as a stone
