Hey Bobba Needle

This is a sad story

About a girl named Mary Mac

And her wondering lover Bob Needle (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

Don't cha know I'm 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

Can't you see I'm dyin', dyin', dyin'

Just to come on back, back, back (Oh! Softly)

I can hear you callin'

Well I took a boat, boat, boat

But it wouldn't 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 ain't lyin', lyin', lyin'

Can't you see that I'm tryin', tryin', tryin'

Don't cha know I'm tryin', tryin', tryin'

Just to come on back

To Mary Mac (Oh! Softly)

I can hear her holler

Oh Yeah

Hey Bob
