  • @dopejoel Nope, just the Crumhorn.

  • @galwguitar87 Not familiar with the show Tudors, I mean I don't live under a rock, just Australia, but I don't watch the Tudors. Do watch the Borgias though, but getting back to the point here; you'd find that a curt composer or someone probably did write this, but King Henry being, King Henry, probably had his head and claimed the song for himself because he likes it so much. Unless you know otherwise.

  • The drum sounds a bit like the one in Be My Baby. Bum... bum, bum.

  • @dopejoel OMG please!!

  • I wish they should have shown Henry composing this song on The Tudors instead of "Greensleeves", since we know for sure he wrote this song!!! It wouldn't hurt them to be a little more accurate!

  • im singing by myself at my chorus concert

  • I think the performance of this song in King Henry VIII's Court would have been a tad...Five or Seven Minutes longer! The fear to improvise is cause for BEHEADING! ;-)

  • He was the only king, who had a talent for composing

  • @ultraviolent29 Is that you, Yuvraj?
