Grey Sisters - Horrific Histories

Today's entry is from my Horrific Histories collection and is a twist on the Shirley Bassey classic 'Goldfinger' taking it back to the era of Queen Elizabeth I and changing the colour scheme slightly.


Goldfinger Grey Sisters not by Shirley Bassey 
Grey sisters.
We’re the girls, the girls with whom fate did toy.
And then destroy.
Yes – the Grey sisters.
Lady Jane’s is the story that you know
But there’s two to go.

Oh to marry for love did Cath’rine,
But this marriage did upset the queen,
Despite two children Eliz did insist-a,
To annul the match of this poor

Grey sister.
She died young in the tower locked away
For all her days.

Lady Mary she was called ugly,
But this didn’t deter Thomas Keyes,
Married secretly this didn’t assist her,
He was locked up cos he wed a
 
Grey sister.
Kept under house arrest all of her life
Of woe and strife.

Now their tale is told,
Yes it’s told.
It is told.
Their tale is now told,
You’ve been told.
You’ve been told.
