Within the

Now, Anne

Until he bid the headsman do her in.

Now, Henry
did her wrong long years ago. And
she comes up at night to tell him so.

With her

C B7
With her
head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.
She comes
to haunt King Henry, she means giving him what for.
Gadzooks! She's going to tell him off, she's
feeling very sore.
Then just
in case the headsman wants to give her an encore,
She has her
head tucked underneath her arm.

Oh, they
think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Anne Boleyn

With her
head tucked underneath her arm.
Now,
sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread
For all his
pals and gals -- a ghostly crew.
The
headsman carves the joint and cuts the bread,
Then in
comes Anne Boleyn to queer the do.
She holds
her head up with a wild war whoop [scream]
And Henry
cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"
CHORUS
One night
she caught King Henry, he was in the canteen bar.
Said he,
"Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn or Catherine Parr?
For by the
Saints there, merry Anne, do I know who you are
With your
head talked underneath your arm!"
