Historical story

Divorced Beheaded and died lyrics from horrible histories?

"Divorced Beheaded Died":

Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived

Henry the Eighth's wives had the most terrible lives!

First came Catherine of Aragon,

An old Spanish spinster,

They said her breath was all wrong

And her hair grew very thin, sir!

Then came Anne Boleyn,

The lovely French lady,

Henry got tired of her neck

So the axe fell so deadly!

Then came Jane Seymour,

Who didn't last long term;

So, Henry looked up a German girl

And her name was Anne of Cleves, firm!

Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived

Henry the Eighth's wives had the most terrible lives!

But he soon sent her back when he looked at her

And cried out, "Oh I'm done!"

So who should he see but Catherine Howard,

A fine looking party,

She didn't last very long

Because her past was too naughty!

His sixth and last wife was Catherine Parr,

And, fortunately for her,

He suddenly died before he decided

To take off her head off, sir!
