In the tower of London, large as life, the ghost of Anne Bolyn walks they declare.
|
Poor Anne Bolyn was once King Henry's wife until he made the headsman bob her hair.
|
Ah, yes, he did her wrong long years ago and she comes up at night to tell him so,
|
|
Chorus:
|
With her head 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. She's feeling very sore,
|
And just in case the headsman wants to give her an encore, she's has her head tucked underneath her arm.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in and when they had a few they shout, "Is Army going to win?"
|
They think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Ann Bolyn with her head tucked underneath her arm.
|
|
Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread for all his pals and gals and ghostly crew.
|
The headsman carves the joint and cuts the bread then in comes Anne Bolyn to queer the do.
|
She holds her head up with a wild war whoop and Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar. Said he, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Bolyn, or Katherine Parr?
|
How the sweet Saint Maryann do I know who you are with your head tucked underneath your arm?"
