Blue Bloody Blues Lyrics

I bet you think the Stuarts were an English dynasty
Well we only came to
England when the crown belonged to me
Our clan may hail from Scotland
but our tale's are not a bonnie one, you'll see

We got the blue blooded blues
In a blue Stuart shoes
Each king queen and heir
had a personal nightmare
Have you read the news we got the blue blooded
blues

Let’s start with me king Robert 3 some say I was a fool
Once fell off my horse and hurt my self quite badly how uncool
Ended up with a limp, a limp is what they called my rule
(and I'll tell you for why)

We got the blue blooded blues
in a sons he had two
One in prison starved in jail
The other captured- epic fail!
The worst king in my review I got the
blue blooded blues.

The next five Stuarts all called James but none was lucky Jim
James 1 hid down a sewer, was caught by assassins.
James 2 was less unpopular but killed by his own cannon so pretty dim (and it doesn't end there- you're not wrong!) We got the blue blooded blues,
So many ways to lose
Three and four killed in battle,
five lost at war and that'll
Explain why we're so enthused about the Stuarts clan
blues (sing it Mary go on girl!)

I’m Mary queen of Scots
Misfortune I had lots
To queen Liz was a threat she threw me into prison yeah!
Still accused me of plottin',
Can you see where I’m headed?
Liz is a Tudor so take a guess (beheaded? Yeah.)

Well after Queen Liz died was made King of England too,
Became James the first in England but the Stuart luck stayed true
Guy Fawkes try to blow me up and turn me into
Stuart stew

(One more time yeah!)
We got the blue blooded blues
Not the role life you choose

With my son Charles a decapitee, we briefly killed off royalty
Stuart mourners it's true,
Cursed with the blue blooded blues
(That’s what I’m
talking about!)
