The Queen was a humble woman
She was also a stubborn woman
Wanting to work in the fields
and her King could care less

The Queen sat at her simple table
her King refused to bear
the cost of her living
and the livelihood of her children

The Queen slept alone
in a stone cold bed
She cried when things got hard
and she prayed diligently for the best

The Queen was loved
Her children stayed by her side
and helped where they could

But sometimes children are selfish
sometimes children are stubborn too
Sometimes they loved her too little
and that made her blue

The Queen was a poor woman
who loved the wrong man
Cast aside and forgotten
She lived in poverty and strife
