With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm

The Kingston Trio performs an old English music hall song written by Bert Lee and R.P. Weston (who also wrote "I'm Henery the Eighth I Am," recorded later by Herman's Hermits) and originally performed by Stanley Holloway, later famous as Eliza Doolittle's father in "My Fair Lady," in 1934. The macabre humor about the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn has been sung by over a dozen artists.

When I was young, my aunt would play this when I visited and she would be doing her ironing. It was a great memory. Thanks for posting!

Sounds like something the BK might have done - but that group started in 1959 or 60, and the song goes back to the 1930s. This recording is definitely the Kngston Trio.

Interesting to think that Weston might have wrote it as a tongue-in-cheek companion song to "I'm Henry the VIII."
