[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"
