In the tower of London, large as life, the ghost of Anne Bolyn
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 that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Ann Bolyn 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 Bolyn 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 Bolyn, or Katherine Parr?
How the sweet san perryann do I know who you are with your head
tucked underneath your arm?"
