Hey Bobba Needle Lyrics - Folk Album - Chubby Checker

This is a sad story about a girl named Mary Mac 

And her wondering lover Bob Needle 

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 

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 

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 

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
