- The latest Sing Out! has "Anne Boleyn" (aka "With Her Head Tucked
- Underneath Her Arm") in it. The penultimate line is given as
-
- "For how the sweet san fairy Anne do I know who you are"
-
- Two questions:
-
- (1) Is this accurate?
-
- (2) If so, what the sweet san fairy is "the sweet san fairy"? Is it
- anything like a laylum?
