"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 ten 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
