Only fourteen, sent from Austria
Destined to be queen
When I married Louis, the Dauphin of France
Wonder if I'd stand a chance
Blonde and pretty, but no intimacy
Inability to do my duty - to produce an heir
Ridicule, I've had my share
And you know the rumors fly.
"Madame Deficit!'
"She's such a cruel spendthrift!"
They don't know me.
I am just Marie

"Look at the Dauphin, she's such a silly teen"
"She's gambling all the Treasury"
Is pleasure such a crime?
The finer things in life were always mine
Decadent, it's true
But in my heart I'm blue
It fills me
This empty Marie

Shunned the nobility, all that ceremony
Built my rustic retreat
At Petit Trianon
Just my friends and me
Losing popularity
Where did we go so wrong?
Louis wasn't strong
Helping the colonies
And then our country suffered tragedy
Starvation and poverty
And I lost my baby, why?
In '89 they stormed into Versailles
And made me face them
On the balcony

End of monarchy, taken to Tulleries
To the border
We will try to flee
Caught in the Varenns Flight
Discovered that my hair was shocked to white
Conciergerie, Prisoner 280
I'm only Citizen Marie

Louis tried condemned
I knew this was the end
The Terror
Everyone against me
My son testified
They forced him to say lies
Found guilty
For depravity
The mohters I do plea
How much can you take away from me?

So to the guillotine
I'll ride with dignity
I am your Queen
I am still Marie
