Margaret

Margaret came to me was all he said
Before she knew my name she was in my bed
She was only sweet sixteen
Twenty thousand days younger than me

Marry me she said, I don't reply
Daddy said, "You'd better, or you'll die"
She wants a house and fifteen kids I guess
She does my love
And I can't find a state we're legal in

Margaret feels the world beneath her feet
Shakin' like a leaf falls from the tree
She don't care he's ten years older than me
As long as they're together happily
She says, "Stay away"

Marry me she said, I don't reply
Daddy said, "You'd better, or you'll die"
She wants a house and fifteen kids I guess
She does my love
And I can't find a state we're legal in
