THE DEATH OF QUEEN JANE—F
[_]
Notes and Queries, Second Series, XI, 131; sung by an illiterate nursemaid “some forty years since” (1861).
1
Queen Jane lies in labour six weeks or more,Till the women were tired, go see her no more:
‘Oh women, oh women, if women you be,
You'll send for King Henry, to come and see me.
2
‘Oh King Henry, King Henry, if King Henry you be,You'll send for the doctor, to come and see me:
Oh doctor, oh doctor, if a doctor you be,
You'll open my right side, and save my baby.’
3
They churchd her, they chimed her, they dug her her grave,They buried her body, and christend her babe.
