(Ad lib:Spoken)
[E]This is a sad story
About a [A]girl named Mary Mac
And her wondering lover, [B7]Bob Needle).
CHORUS:
[E]Oh, softly, I can [B7]hear her callin?...
[E]Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle

[A]Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
[E]Hey, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle, Bobba Needle
[B7]Hey, Bob...[E]Hey, Bob.
#1.
[E]Mary [A]Mac, Mac, Mac.
All dressed in black, black, black.
Don'tcha know I?m [E]tryin?, tryin?, tryin?,
Just to come on [A]back, back, back.
Cause I took a plane, plane, plane,
But there was some rain, rain, rain.
And there was no [E]flyin?, flyin?, flyin?,
So I took a [A]train, train, train.
[A]Oh, Mary Mac, Mac, Mac.
It went off the track, track, track,
Can?t you see I?m [E]dyin?, dyin?, dyin?,
Just to come on [A]back, back, back.
CHORUS:
#2.
Well, I took a [A]boat, boat, boat,
But it wouldn?t float, float, float.
So I kept on a [E]puffin?, puffin?, puffin?,
That was all she [A]wrote, wrote, wrote.
So, I must wear my cross, cross, cross.
And I bought a horse, horse, horse,
But it just keeps [E]runnin?, runnin?, runnin?,
All around the [A]track, track, track.
Baby I ain?t lyin?, lyin?, lyin?.
Can?t you see that I?m tryin?, tryin?, tryin?,
Don?tcha know I?m [E]tryin?, tryin?, tryin?, just to
come on [A]back to Mary Mac.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
