The Death of Queen Jane Lyrics

Queen Jane was in labour
For six days or more
Till her women got tired
And wished it were o'er
Good women, good women
Good women if you be
Will you send for King Henry
For King Henry I must see

King Henry was asent for
King Henry did come
For to meet with Queen Jane
My love, your eyes do look so dim

King Henry, King Henry
King Henry if you be
If you have my right side open'd
You will find my dear baby
Queen Jane, my love, Queen Jane, my love
Such a thing was never known
If you have your right side open'd
You will lose your dear baby

Will you build your love a castle
And lie down so deep
For to bury my body
And christen my dear baby
King Henry went mourning
And so did his men
And so did his dear baby
For Queen Jane did dien

How deep was the mourning
How wide were the bands
How yellow, yellow were the flamboys
They carried in their hands

There was fiddling, there was dancing
On the day the babe was born
While the royal Queen Jane
Beloved lay cold as stone
