With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm - The Kingston Trio
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's 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 midnight hour
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 Anne Boleyn 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 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
One night she caught King Henry he was in the canteen bar said
He are you Jane Seymour Anne Boleyn or Katherine Parr
Oh how the sweet san fairyann do I know who you are with
Your head tucked underneath your arm
