You've heard of King Henry II	A
And the story of how he got fond	B
Of one of his customer's daughters	C
A lass called the Fair Rosamond	D
	-
'Twere a lovely romance while it lasted	E
The course of true love ran serene	F
Till some nosey parkering varlet	E
Started carrying tales to the Queen	F
	-
The Queen were at first incred u lous	C
She said What a tale to invent	E
The King would not stoop to such baseness	C
At any rate not during Lent	E
	-
But one morning she picked up a doublet	E
As he'd dropped on his bedroom settee	E
It had three golden hairs on the shoulder	G
And a strong smell of 'Soir de Paree	G
	-
She went to the King in a passion	H
And showed him this evidence clear	G
And swore by her distaff and wimple	I
That she weren't having none of that theer	G
	-
She said If I catch that young woman	H
She'll leave no more hairs on your coat	E
Her trying to pinch other folks' monarchs	C
I'll give her a swim in the moat	E
	-
So he took Rosie off to the country	G
To an old fashioned manor of his	C
With an 'ampton Court Maze in the garden	H
As he kept for occasions like this	C
	-
But the Queen wasn't fooled for a moment	E
She knew all about Henry's ways	C
She slipped off herself the next morning	J
And secretly watched that there maze	C
	-
She were hiding in t 'macaracapa	K
When Rosie came out for the milk	L
And she fixed to her dress as she passed her	G
The end of a bobbin of silk	L
	-
Poor Rosie went back not suspecting	J
The trail she were leaving behind	E
And the Queen slowly followed her gloating	J
At what she expected to find	E
	-
The King he were toasting a muffin	H
And Rosie were wetting the tea	G
When in walked the Queen her face shining	J
With a look of malevolent glee	G
	-
She'd a basin of poison in one hand	E
In the other a glittering knife	M
The King kind of goggled a moment	E
Then turned and said Rose meet the wife	M
	-
The Queen shoved the basin at Rosie	G
And held the knife out by its point	E
It were plain she had no' but two choices	C
The soup or a cut off the joint	E
	-
The Fair Rosamond begged for mercy	G
She said What you've heard is not true	G
Our friendship were purely platonic	N
A yarn which in them days was new	G
	-
The King told the same tale as Rosie	G
And if that's not the truth Queen he cried	E
May I die on this spot where I'm standing	J
As he said it he skipped to one side	E
	-
The Queen at the finish believed them	O
But to save further messing around	E
She packed Rosie off to a Convent	E
And had the maze burnt to the ground	E
