Lyrics:

'Margarette 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
And I can't find a state we're legal in

Margarette
Margarette
Margarette
Margarette

Margarette 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

'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
And I can't find a state we're legal in

Margarette
Margarette
Margarette
Margarette

'Margarette 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
And I can't find a state we're legal in

Margarette
Margarette
Margarette
Margarette

She was only sweet sixteen
