+====== Anne Boleyn ======
+by R.L. Weston and Bert Lee
+In the Tower of London, large as life,
+The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare.
+For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife,
+Until he had the headsman bob her hair.
+Oh, yes, he did her wrong long years ago,
+And she comes back at night to tell him so.
+Chorus:
+With her 'ead 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 spilling of her gore.
+And just in case the headsman wants to give her encore,
+She has her head tucked underneath her arm.
+Now sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread,
+For all his pals and gals, a ghastly crew,
+The 'eadsman carve the joint and cuts the bread,
+When in comes Anne Boleyn to queer the do.
+She holds her head up with a wild war whoop,
+And Henry cries, "don't drop it in the soup!"
+She walks the endless corridors, for miles and miles she goes,
+She often catches cold, poor dear, it's drafty when it blows,
+And it's awfully, awfully awkward for the queen to blow her nose,
+With her head tucked underneath her arm.
+The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in,
+And when they've had a few they shout, "Is Army going to win?"
+They think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Anne Boleyn
+With her head tucked underneath her arm.
+One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar,
+He said, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, or Catherine Parr?
+Well, how are?
+With your head tucked underneath your arm?
+Recorded in the early 30s by, of all people, Rudy Vallee; also
+(later, I think) by Stanley Holloway. RG
+Note: Henry VIII only beheaded two of his wives -
+Anne Boleyn and Kate Howard. Remember : divorced
+(Katherine of Aragon), beheaded(Anne B), died (Jane
+Seymour); divorced (Anne of Cleves), beheaded (Kate
+Howard), survived(Kate Parr). (SOF)
+"The guards all think that it's a football that she carries in
+And when they've had a few, they shout "Is Arsenal going to win?"
+They think that it's Alec James instead of poor old Anne Boleyn etc."
+and
+"for how the sweet san fairy ann do I know who you are"
+(a later addition)
+The sentries think that Anee is hauling 'round a rugby ball;
+When dinner's done they'll push the chairs and tables to the wall
+And then the'll choose up sides and kick the Queen around the hall!
+With 'er 'ead tucked underneath 'er arm!
