Henry’s Hoedown!

V1
Now Henry was a Tudor king
Who gave six gals a wedding ring,
He hoped a son to him they’d bring,
He gave them jewels and everything!
But he got mad and plates did fling
When only one had male offspring,
Some were divorced but here’s the thing
For two of them the axe did swing! 

 

Chorus
Henry oh Henry!
The Tudor king who had six wives,
Henry oh Henry!
His temper meant that two of them
Lost their lives!

 

V2
Catherine was the first he wed,
Then Anne Boleyn who lost her head,
Jane Seymour died, he mourned it’s said,
And Anne of Cleves he was misled,
With Kathryn Howard he saw red,
So yet another to behead,
He got so large and overfed
He widowed Katherine Parr when dead! 

 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 wives that Henry picked.

 

Chorus
Henry oh Henry!
The Tudor king who had six wives,
Henry oh Henry!
His temper meant that two of them
Lost their lives!  

 

Repeat Chorus

 

His temper meant that two of them
Lost their lives!
