Lady Jane Grey

Lady Jane Grey was only sixteen A happy teenager till they made her queen They wanted her status they wanted her name But she was only a pawn in their game Those unscrupulous people those evil men Forced her to fulfil their evil ends What they wanted was fortune and fame She was only a pawn in the game Forced to marry Guilford Dudley She had no say in the matter you see So Lady Dudley what she became Because she was only a pawn in their game When King Edward died they proclaimed her Queen This well educated innocent teen A rival to Mary who quickly came But she was only a pawn in the game Just nine days later that dangerous date Mary was crowned and that sealed Janes fate Sentenced to die to the scaffold she came She was only a pawn in the game She was blindfolded she fell on one knee She was helped to the block because she couldn't see Just one swing of the axe it was such a shame Because she was only a pawn in the game Oh what a waste of an innocent life She could have been a mother and a wonderful wife But still she's remembered our lady Jane She was only a pawn in their game
