This is a sad story
About a girl named Mary Mac
And her wondering lover Bob Needle
(Group) Oh! Softly
I can hear her callin
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bob
Hey Bob
Mary Mac Mac Mac
All dressed in black black black
Dont cha know Im tryin tryin tryin
Just to come on back back back
Cause I took a plane plane plane
But there was some rain rain rain
And there was no flyin flyin flyin
So I took a train train train
Oh Mary Mac Mac Mac
It went off the track track track
Cant you see Im dyin dyin dyin
Just to come on back back back
(Group) Oh! Softly
I can hear you callin
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bob
Hey Bob
(Instrumental Break)
Well I took a boat boat boat
But it wouldnt float float float
So I kept on a puffin puffin puffin
That was all she wrote wrote wrote
So I must wear my cross cross cross
And I bought a horse horse horse
But it just keeps runnin runnin runnin
All around the track track track
Baby I aint lyin lyin lyin
Cant you see that Im tryin tryin tryin
Dont cha know Im tryin tryin tryin
Just to come on back
To Mary Mac
(Group) Oh! Softly
I can hear her holler
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle - Bobba Needle
Hey Bob
Hey Bob
Oh Yeah
