Staring at my picture book
she looks like Mary, Queen of Scots
She seemed very regal to me
just goes to show how wrong you can be
I'm gonna stop wastin' my time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
My castle, kids and home
I thought she was Mary, Queen of Scots
I tried so very hard
shows just how wrong you can be
I'm gonna stop wasting time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song
Sad song, sad song

Living on borrowed times
I'm in love with Mary, Queen of Scots
Fourteen hundred ninety-three
and everything's like it should be
I'm gonna stop wastin' my time
Henry the Fifth would have broken my arm
Sad song, sad song, doo, doo
Sad song, sad song
Living on borrowed times
I'm in love with Mary, Queen of Scots
Fourteen hundred ninety-three
and things are just like they ought to be
Primrose and kilts, primrose and Spain
Forget me not, my Queen of Scots
Sad song, sad song, doo, doo
Sad song, sad song
