The Death of Queen Jane

Anonymous

King Henry was sent for

All in the time of her need.

King Henry he came

In the time of her need.

King Henry he stooped,

And kissed her on the head:

"What's the matter with my flower

Makes her eyes look so red?"

"King Henry, King Henry,

Will you take me to thee,

To pierce my side open

And save my baby?"

"Oh no, Queen Jane,

Such thing shall never be -

To lose my sweet flower,

For to save my baby."

Queen Jane she turned over

And fell into a swound.

Her side it was pierced,

And her baby was found.

There's six followed after,

And six carried her along.

King Henry he followed,

With his black mourning on.

King Henry he wept,

And he wrung his hands till they're sore.

The flower of England

Shall never be no more.
