Bonnie Mary

We'll remember Bonnie Mary Queen of Scotland and Queen of France cll the poets spoke of her great beauty cnd they say, she loved to dance She married Darnley and they had a baby Oh, too soon, they took wee James away Then they chased our Mary out of Scotland Never to come back again So they took a boat across the Solway Stepping on to England's northern shore She wasn't safe with Elizabeth in London Her fate was sealed forevermore So it was to be, she was held a prisoner For eighteen years They shuttled her around Then one day, she called out to her maker Mary's head fell to the ground So we remember Bonnie Mary Through it all, her dignity still shows cll the poets spoke of her great beauty cnd our love for Mary grows Oh, oh, our love for Mary grows
