Margaret came to me" was all he said

Before she knew my name she was in my bed

She was only... sweet sixteen

20,000 days younger than me



"Marry me" she said I don't reply

"Daddy said you 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... Margaret... Margaret... Margaret



Margaret feels the world beneath her feet

Shaking like a leaf falls from the tree

She don't care he's te n years older than me

As long as they're together happily (She says they will)



"Marry me" she said I don't reply

"Daddy said you 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... Margaret... Margaret... Margaret



She was only... sweet sixteen
