[00:00:06] Queen Jane lay in labor full six days or more

[00:00:14] Till the women grew weary and the midwives gave o'er

[00:00:22] They sent for King Henry to come with great speed

[00:00:30] To be with Queen Jane in her hour of need

[00:00:38] King Henry came to her and he sat by her bedside

[00:00:47] Saying what ails thee my Jeannie

[00:00:50] What ails thee my bride

[00:00:56] O Henry o Henry do this one thing for me

[00:01:04] Rip open my right side and find my baby

[00:01:12] O Jeannie o Jeannie that never will do

[00:01:19] It would lease thy sweet life and thy young baby too

[00:01:28] She wept and she wailed till she fell into a swoon

[00:01:36] And her right side was opened and her baby was found

[00:03:33] Well that baby was Christened the very next day

[00:03:40] While his poor dead mother a moldering lay

[00:03:49] Six men went before her and four more travelled on

[00:03:56] While loyal King Henry stood mourning alone

[00:04:04] He wept and he wailed until he was sore

[00:04:12] Saying the flower of all England shall flourish no more

[00:04:21] He sat by the river with his head in his hands

[00:04:29] Saying my merry England is a sorrowful land
