With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm
In the Tower of London large as life The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare Poor Anne Boleyn 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. * 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 has her head tucked underneath her arm. ( * ) The sentries think that it?s a football that she carries in And when they?ve had a few they shout, ?Is Navy going to win?? They think that it is Red Grange instead of poor old Anne Boleyn With her head tucked underneath her arm. Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread For all his gals and pals a ghostly crew The headsman carves the joint and cuts the bread And in walks Anne Boleyn to queer the do. She holds her head up with wild war whoop. And Henry cries, ?Don?t drop it in the soup!? ( * )
