Her father was a flying mountie,
He patrolled a distant county.
They only found the flight recorder
Up beyond the Yukon border, (border)
On the banks of the Mackenzie.
Still, there is no reason that she can see,
Why her mother never taught her.
She is VICTORIA'S DAUGHTER
Something happened to disjoint her.
But I will never disappoint her.
Flew solo in her darkest hour
'Til she began to feel the power, (power).
She made a life that she could measure,
A private world that she could treasure,
With things her mother never bought her.
Now she is VICTORIA'S DAUGHTER
Her mother always fought her,
But she was the victorious daughter.
She fled across the water,
Now she is VICTORIA'S DAUGHTER
By now she's in the garden,
Seeking her provincial pardon.
But this is no wait that I can weather,
Pretty soon I'll go and get her, (get her).
She crossed the Georgia Strait one morning
Without a word, without a warning.
They say her mother nearly caught her.
Now she is VICTORIA'S DAUGHTER
