 You can hear my song about Elizabeth I of England at about 37 minutes into this radio show

Here are the lyrics for the song 


The daughter of Anne Boleyn

When Mary died her reign would begin

The path to the throne had been cleared

Her sailors singed the King of Spain’s beard


She longed to unite a divided land

Catholics and Protestants she would command

The burnings at Smithfield over now

To avoid persecution she made a vow


The daughter of Anne Boleyn

When Mary died her reign would begin

The path to the throne had been cleared

Her sailors singed the King of Spain’s beard


A mystical romance on a public stage

Musicians and poets would give her praise

The fantasy of the virgin Queen

Of her love many nobles had a dream


The daughter of Anne Boleyn

When Mary died her reign would begin

The path to the throne had been cleared

Her sailors singed the King of Spain’s beard


But old age can be so unkind

She concealed the ravages of time

With a wig to hide her thinning hair

Her last days in melancholy despair
