KING HENRY VII

King Henry VII each wife
I first married Catherine of Aragon a Spanish beauty
I had love for her, she fullfilled her duty

Then next came Anne Boelyn a maiden fair,
Long haired Brunette, Aww I loved to stare

Jane Seymour now she was mighty fine,
I wined her and dined her on red blooded wine

Anne of Cleaves was a woman to trust
She looked at me her husband and KING with such lust

Katherine Howard a true beauty with red hair,
Blue eyes like a porcelain doll, a body with such flair

Catherine Parr, when I set eyes on her I fell in love
When she was in my presence , she was angelic like a dove

Now all these wives I may have had
Any man's dream? no? I wasn't that bad
I had maidens and harlets too
I had so many woman I didn't know what to do

But I am King Henry the great and may you never forget,
I was the greatest ruler of England, the story of history has been set.

The King and I ( based on King Henry VII) Anne Boleyn
I am a maiden fair, Queen Anne Bolyn am I
I watch the men secretly as they pass me by
I am married a queen to my King Henry of course,
But on the future cards- beheaded and divorced?
I was caught having affairs with one or two
Beloved men of mine, once I was done with them they were through
For it was not only me who had wandering eyes
My husband too, when all the pretty maids were dancing like flies
Yes deciet was a dealy crime,
But it was all hushed up as we drank our wine,
For the colour of sin, red as a crimsin rose,
As my crimes were judged in public I froze,
The king looked at me for the last time
I begged, I pleaded, I cried and I whined
A sledge hammer came down on my neck that day
Beheaded but I prayed to God to say,
Forgive me for the deciet I have done,
and my crimes I have paid for me, my husband and son.
She lay beaheaded on the floor,
King Henry moved on and closed hearts door.

KING HENRY AND MY 6 WIVES

My name is King Henry and I have had 6 wives
My last I cherish, the others were all killed with knives,
I am a soft touch for a pretty maiden or two,
I share my bed with them but my wives never knew,
I couldn't resist temptation, A king can commit a crime,
Pretty temptations eveywhere, A diamond there and here a dime,
I governed and ruled over men
An important figure I was back then
I rarely felt sorrow for my brothers at war,
For we were fighting for God as they came banging on the door,
I governed and ruled over men I knew
I was the KING and a spectator to view
I would often ponder in my many gardens afar
I would spend time with my wife for she was my star
I played on the horses and had battles of my own
I was uncertain of future events for they were unknown
I am King Henry the great and wonderful King,
A King I maybe who lived a great sin!
