The death of Queen Jane

This is another very ancient and very beautiful folksong. I would like to dedicate this song to my friend Nicola.

THE DEATH OF QUEEN JANE
(Trad.)


Queen Jane lay in labour for six weeks and more
The women grew weary and the midwife gave oer

King Henry he was sent for on horseback and feet
King Henry came to her in the time of her need

Oh Henry, good king Henry, if that you do be
Please pierce my side open and save my baby

Oh no Jane, good queen Jane, that never could be
Id loose my sweet flower to save my baby

Queen Jane she turned over, she fell all in a swoon
Her side was pierced open and the baby was found

How bright was the morning, how yellow was the room
How costly the white robes queen Jane was wrapped in

King Henry he grieved, he wrung his hands to their sore
The flower of England will never be no more
