Hey Bobba Needle (Rerecorded)

This is a sad story about a girl named Mary Mack

And her wandering lover, Bob Needle

(Softly) I can hear her calling

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob, hey, Bob

Mary Mack, Mack, Mack

All dressed in black, black, black

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

Just to come on back, back, back?

First, 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 Mack, Mack, Mack

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 calling

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob, hey, Bob

Well, I took a boat, boat, boat

But it wouldn't float, float, float

So, I kept on poppin', poppin', poppin'

That was all she wrote, wrote, wrote

So, I swam across, '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 I'm cryin', cryin', cryin'?

'Cause you know I'm tryin', tryin', tryin'

Just to come on back to Mary Mack

(Oh, softly) I can hear her holler

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob Needle, Bob Needle, Bob Needle

Hey, Bob, oh yeah, hey, Bob
