Dean Ford - Bonnie Mary Lyrics

We'll remember Bonnie Mary
Queen of Scotland and Queen of France
All the poets spoke of her great beauty
And 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
All the poets spoke of her great beauty
And our love for Mary grows
Oh, oh, our love for Mary grows
