Softly I can hear her calling 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 trying trying trying 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 dying dying dying Just to come on back back back (Group) Oh! Softly I can hear you calling 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!
