The Judge And Margaret Brady

Old Judge Brady was the law of the land

As for the rest of life he didn't care

He said I never asked to be born, warned or mourned

Just let everybody say I was fair

Let everybody say I was fair

His stern assistant Margaret was loyal thirty years

She says when you're too happy people laugh at you

And I've seen lies that are gonna last forever

Maybe longer than the truth

Maybe longer than the truth

But one day I saw her smile, I swear I did

Something strange came over the judge that day

He'd finally figured out how to tell Margaret something he knew

But never knew how to say

He knew but never knew how to say

He said I sentence you to life

And all the good and bad our love will bring

If you will be my wife

I sentence you to life with this ring

I sentence you to life with this ring
