The Captive Song Of Mary Steward Lyrics

I Though I was crowned a french princess My day was quickly done. I trailed my child with the royal dress In the Paris sun My husband was to be your king But'd a little child, And I was send without my rake Back to Scotland wild. Chorus Oh,Mary Mother hear my prayer My cousin is a queen Most powerful though not so fair As I have always been. II In Scotland fall I'm into love A love if not alike. We killed eachother for my glove, With knife or sword or pike. But I took one to husband there, So pretty slim it's spoiled With velvet eyes and gilded hair, He fatherd me a child. Chorus Oh,Mary Mother hear my prayer My cousin is a queen Most powerful though not so fair As I have always been. III From this high window seems the earth A dessert or a storm A spiteful son I brought to birth Who'll sit the English Throne. To rule where I have never stood. To rule when I am dead, Will not remember of my good, Nor any word I said. Chorus Oh,Mary Mother hear my prayer My cousin is a queen Most powerful though not so fair As I have always been. IV Oh God, it is an empty thing For I'm gone mad for love, To want it more than be a king, In the royal world above. And I was once a french princess, But that was quickly done. I trailed my child with it's purple dress, In the Paris sun
