Mary Mac, Mac, Mac.
All dressed in black, black, black.
E
Don'tcha know I’m tryin’, tryin’, tryin’,
A
Just to come on back, back, back.
Cause I took a plane, plane, plane,
But there was some rain, rain, rain.
E
And there was no flyin’, flyin’, flyin’,
A
So I took a train, train, train.
A
Oh, Mary Mac, Mac, Mac.
It went off the track, track, track,
E
Can’t you see I’m dyin’, dyin’, dyin’,
A
Just to come on back, back, back.
CHORUS:

A
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.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
