| Lyrics: | Death of Queen Jane
Queen Jane lay in labor full nine days or more
'Til the women
were so tired, they could stay no longer there (2x)
"Good women, good women, good women
as ye be
Do open my right side and find my baby"
"Oh no," said the women, "That
never can be
We will send for King Henry, and hear what he say."
King Henry was sent
for, King Henry did come
"What do ail you, my lady, your eyes 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"
"Oh no," said King Henry, "That's a thing I'll never do
If I lose the Flower
of England, I shall lose the branch to"
King Henry went mourning and so did his men
And so
did the dear baby, for Queen Jane did die then
And how deep was the mourning, how black
were the bands
How yellow, yellow were the flamboys they carried in their
hands
There was fiddling, aye, and dancing on the day the babe was born
But poor
Queen Jane beloved lay cold as a stone.
