Queen Anne Boleyn was the mother of Elizabeth I and the second wife of Henry VIII. Rumor has it that after her beheading, she walked the bloody tower with her head tucked underneath arm.
With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm
In the town of London, large as life, the ghost of Anne Boleyn 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 Boleyn
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 craves the joint and cuts the bread
then 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!"
(Chorus)
One night she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar.
Said he, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn , or Cath'rine Parr?
How the sweet san fairy Ann, do I know who you are
with your head tucked underneath your arm?"
