Mary Mac Mac Mac
All dressed in black black black

Don'tcha know I'm tryin' tryin' tryin'

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
CHORUS:

Well I took a boat boat boat
But it wouldn't float float float
E
So I kept on a puffin' puffin' puffin'
A
That was all she wrote wrote wrote
So I must wear my cross cross cross
And I bought a horse horse horse
E
But it just keeps runnin' runnin' runnin'
A
All around the track track track
Baby I ain't lyin' lyin' lyin'
Can't you see that I'm tryin' tryin' tryin'
E
Don'tcha know I'm tryin' tryin' tryin' just to
A
come on back to Mary Mac
