The Kingston Trio's, "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm"
The Lyrics:
The sentries think that it's a football
that she carries in
And when they've had a few, they shout,
'Is Army going to win?'
They think that it's Red Grange
instead of poor old Ann Boleyn
With her head tucked underneath her arm
that she carries in
And when they've had a few, they shout,
'Is Army going to win?'
They think that it's Red Grange
instead of poor old Ann Boleyn
With her head tucked underneath her arm
Who They Mention:
Red Grange
