(This time for the tune
think 3 Blind Mice)
Six poor queens
Six poor queens
See how they fared
See how they fared
Picked by Henry to be his
wife
He would cause them nothing
but strife
And in the end they’d pay
with their life
Six poor queens
Cat of Spain
Cat of Spain
1st wife was she
1st wife was she
Married first to young Prince
Arthur
When he died she wed his
brother
Had no sons so he divorced
her
Cat of Spain
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn
Wife number two
Wife number two
Told Henry she’d give him a
son
For her the reforms were
begun
When she failed her short
life was done
Anne Boleyn
Jane Seymour
Jane Seymour
Most beloved was she
Most beloved was she
Married soon after the death
of Anne
Gave him a son – a bonny
young man
After she died a new search
began
Anne of Cleves
Anne of Cleves
Fourth to wed him
Fourth to wed him
Henry thought she was quite
fair
But soon would call her The
Flanders Mare
Divorced and lived her life at Hever
Anne of Cleves
Kat Howard
Kat Howard
Rose without a thorn
Rose without a thorn
Skeletons in her closet she
had
Fell for Culpepper a young
noble lad
When Henry found out it made
him quite sad
Kat Howard
Kathryn Parr
Kathryn Parr
Henry’s last queen
Henry’s last queen
Married not for love but duty
When he died Tom Seymour wed
she
Died giving birth to her baby
Kathryn Parr
BONUS TUNE
(Frere Jacques)
King Henry Eighth
King Henry
Eighth
Wed six
wives
Wed six
wives
Treated
them so badly
Their lives
ended sadly
Now they’re
done
So's
this song
