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
Don뭪 cha know I뭢 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
Can뭪 you see I뭢 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

(Instrumental Break)
Well I took a boat boat boat
But it wouldn뭪 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 ain뭪 lyin?lyin?lyin?
Can뭪 you see that I뭢 tryin?tryin?tryin?
Don뭪 cha know I뭢 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
