| [00:08.38] |
Queen Jane lay in labor full six days or more |
| [00:16.84] |
While the women grew weary and the midwives gave o'er |
| [00:26.87] |
And they sent for King Henry to come with great speed |
| [00:36.53] |
To be with Queen Jane in her hour of need |
| [00:45.63] |
King Henry came to her and he sat by her bedside |
| [00:54.27] |
Saying, "What ails thee, my Jeannie? What ails thee, my bride?" |
| [01:05.13] |
"Oh Henry, oh Henry, do this one thing for me |
| [01:13.77] |
Rip open my right side and find my baby" |
| [01:23.99] |
|
| [01:24.73] |
"Oh Jeannie, oh Jeannie, that never will do |
| [01:32.44] |
It would lease thy sweet life and thy young baby, too" |
| [01:42.38] |
Well, she wept and she wailed 'til she fell into a swoon |
| [01:52.69] |
And her right side was opened and her baby was found |
| [02:02.07] |
|
| [02:05.51] |
Well, that baby was christened the very next day |
| [02:14.46] |
While his poor dead mother a-mouldering lay |
| [02:25.61] |
And six men went before her and four more travelled on |
| [02:35.36] |
While loyal King Henry stood mourning alone |
| [02:45.76] |
|
| [02:47.71] |
He wept and he wailed until he was sore |
| [02:55.61] |
Saying, "The flower of all England shall flourish no more" |
| [03:05.55] |
He sat by the river with his head in his hands |
| [03:15.76] |
Saying, "My merry England is a sorrowful land" |
