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
   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
   (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 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
   (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
   Hey Bob
