More song than Monologue, and is one of Stanley's better known numbers away from the Northern tales of Sam and Albert etc. This is the yarn about Ann Boleyn haunting the tower.

My Dac used to sing this to me when I was a Kid. Awesome Joshua. Thanks for preserving it.

My grandpa used to sing me this song :D gosh! I'm sooooo touched! :D :D I loved it! :)

My dad sang this as well, in the 1950's, and also did a great recitation of 'Albert and the Lion' which my mother never failed to appreciate (Eee, I yam vexed!). Good times, pre-TV :)

My Quaker dad sang it to me near 60 years ago. I am sure he learned it off of Stanley Holloway's record. I always loved it.

Heard this here in Ontario on AM740 a few hours ago... and knew it straight off thanks to my dad!

My grandfather Neil used to sing this song to me.

Now, this is the version I was looking for. So much more creepy than the Trio's version. I think I was scared of it at one time, now that I think of it.

This brings back my childhood memories of my grandfather singing this. I think he like the excuse to say "bloody"

My Dad used to sing this to me, while my mother kept saying, "Stop it Bill, it will give her nightmares," lmao! I loved it and kept begging for him to sing it again.
