With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm.

Seq- Dr.J.Pitt-Payne. Kar- Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

In The Tower of London, large as life,
The ghost of Ann Boleyn walks they declare.

Poor Ann Boleyn was once King Henry's wife
Until he made the Heads~man 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 Mid~night hour.

She comes to haunt King Henry,
she means to give him 'what for'.

Gad Zooks!
she's going to tell him off for having spilt her gore,

And just in case the Heads~man wants to give her an encore,
She has her head tucked underneath her arm!

With her head tucked underneath her arm,
She walks the Bloody Tower!

With her head tucked underneath her arm,
At the Mid~night hour.

Along the draughty corridors
for miles and miles she goes,

She often catches cold, poor thing,
it's cold there when it blows,

And it's awf'lly awkward
for the Queen to have to blow her nose,
With her head tucked underneath her arm

Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread
For all his pals and gals, a ghostly crew.

The heads~man carves the joint and cuts the bread
Then in comes Ann Boleyn to 'queer' the 'do'!

She holds her head up with a wild war whoop,
And Henry cries "Don't drop it in the soup!"

With her head tucked underneath her arm,
She walks the Bloody Tower!

With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the Midnight hour.

The sentries think
that it's a football that she carries in,

And when they've had a few they shout
"Is Arsenal going to win?"

They think it's Alec James instead of poor old Ann Boleyn
With her head tucked underneath her arm!

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower!

With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the Midnight hour.

One night she caught King Henry,
he was in the Canteen Bar,

Said he: "Are you Jane Seymour,
Ann Boleyn or Cath'rine Parr?

For how the sweet san fairy ann do I know who you are
with your head tucked underneath your arm?!"
