Little Mary Joe
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
She was born on the wrong side of town
A young and pretty girl
And a lonely ghetto child
Growing up
Growing wild
Her Daddy was a rolling stone
A handsome man who had
A different woman in every town
He never settled down
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
Before the man would rise at dawn
Her Mother would be gone
Working seven days a week
Just trying to make ends meet
She was down and out
No-one to love her
Little Mary Jo
Like the father she never knew
Become a rolling stone
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
Mary was a little lamb
Lost and all alone
Her Daddy was a rolling stone
And she followed
She was sure to follow him
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
In the winter of her years
Still all alone
The love she needed so desperately
Was never meant to be
She learned her lesson hard but well
True love can't be found
By being a rolling stone
You got to have a home.
