Sphagnum Mass for a Dead Queen - Karine Polwart/Pippa Murphy
Written by:Karine Polwart
Arranger:Andy Bell
Queen Jane lay in labor full six days or more
Till the women grew weary and the midwives gave o'er
They sent for King Henry to come with great speed
To be with Queen Jane in her hour of need
King Henry came to her and he sat by her bedside
Saying what ails thee my Jeannie
What ails thee my bride
O Henry o Henry do this one thing for me
Rip open my right side and find my baby
O Jeannie o Jeannie that never will do
It would lease thy sweet life and thy young baby too
She wept and she wailed till she fell into a swoon
And her right side was opened and her baby was found
Well that baby was Christened the very next day
While his poor dead mother a moldering lay
Six men went before her and four more travelled on
While loyal King Henry stood mourning alone
He wept and he wailed until he was sore
Saying the flower of all England shall flourish no more
He sat by the river with his head in his hands
Saying my merry England is a sorrowful land
