| Queen Jane lay in labor full nine days or more | |
| 'Til her women were so tired, they could no longer there | |
| They could no longer there | |
| "Good women, good women, good women as ye be | |
| Will you open my right side and find my baby | |
| And find my baby?" | |
| "Oh no," cried the women, "That's a thing never can be | |
| We will send for King Henry and hear what he may say | |
| And hear what he may say" | |
| King Henry was sent for, King Henry did come | |
| Saying, "What do ail you, my lady? Your eyes, they look so dim | |
| Your eyes, they look so dim" | |
| "King Henry, King Henry, will you do one thing for me? | |
| That's to open my right side and find my baby | |
| And find my baby" | |
| "Oh no," cried King Henry, "That's a thing I'll never do | |
| If I lose the flower of England, I shall lose the branch too | |
| I shall lose the branch too" | |
| There was fiddling, aye, and dancing on the day the babe was born | |
| But poor Queen Jane beloved lay cold as the stone | |
| Lay cold as the stone | |
| Adew adew, my heart is lost | |
| Adew, my joy and my solace | |
| With double sorrow, complain I must | |
| Until I die, alas, alas | |
| Until I die, alas, alas | |
| (Repeat) |
