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
