The Death of Queen Jane Lyrics


Queen Jane lay in labour,
Full nine days or more
'Til her women so tired,
They could no longer bare
(They could no longer bare)"Good women, good women
Good women that ye may be,
Will you open my right side
And find my baby?"
(And find my baby)"Oh no," cried the women,
"That's a thing that never can be,
We will send for King Henry
And hear what he might say."
(And hear what he might say)King Henry was sent for,
King Henry he did come,
Saying, "What ails thee my lady?
Your eyes, they look so dim."
(Your eyes, they look so dim)"King Henry, King Henry
Will you do one thing for me?

That's to open my right side,
And find my baby?"
(And find my baby)"Oh no," cried King Henry,
"That's a thing that I'll never do,
If I lose the flower of England,
I shall lose the branch too."
(I shall lose the branch too)There was fiddling, aye, and dancing
On the day the babe was born,
But poor Queen Jane, beloved,
Lay cold as the stone.
(Lay cold as the stone)

Canadian singer and composer Loreena McKennitt is self-managed, self-produced and head of her own record label - Quinlan Road. In a recording career spanning three decades, McKennitt's “eclectic Celtic” music has won critical acclaim worldwide and gold, platinum and multi-platinum sales awards in fifteen countries across four continents. Her most successful record is 1997's "The Book of Secrets", which spun off the single "The Mummers' Dance", a surprise hit on American Top 40 and alternative rock radio.

McKennitt blends world-music with folk, Celtic and exotic Mediterranean sounds using instruments such as the hurdy gurdy, kanoun, uilleann pipes, Turkish clarinet, bouzouki and nyckelharpa alongside traditional instruments like guitar, drums and bass and the harp, piano and accordion, the three instruments she plays.

Born in Morden, Manitoba, Canada in February 17, 1957, Loreena moved to Stratford, Ontario, Canada in 1981, where she still resides. She has acted and sung in, and composed music for, Stratford Festival of Canada productions ranging from The Tempest (1982) to The Merchant Of Venice (2001).

Her recording career began in 1985 with the album Elemental. In the fledgling years of her label Quinlan Road, Loreena ran its operations from her kitchen table, selling recordings by mail order and producing her own concert tours across the country. Quinlan Road's catalogue is currently distributed around the world by Warner Music (US), Universal Music (Canada and other territories including Italy and Spain) and a number of independents including Keltia Music (France) and SPV (Germany).
