Queen Jane lay in labour full six days or more, Till the women grew weary and the midwives gave o'er. They sent for King Henry to come with great speed To be with Queen Jane in her hour of need King Henry came to her and sat by her bedside Saying "What ails thee my Jeannie? What ails thee my bride?" "O Henry O Henry do this one thing for me Rip open my right side and find my baby" "O Jeannie, O Jeannie that never will do It would lease thy sweet life and thy young baby too"
She wept and she wailed and she fell into a swoon They opened her right side and her baby was found Well the baby was christened the very next day While his poor dead mother a mouldering lay Six men went before her and four more travelled on While loyal King Henry stood mourning alone He wept and he wailed until he was sore Saying "The flower of all England will flourish no more" He sat by the river with his head in his hands Saying "My merry England's a sorrowful land"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
