Lyrics and translation Chubby Checker - Hey, Bobba Needle

Hey, Bobba Needle

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 ya' 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 puffin', puffin', puffin'
That was all she wrote, wrote, wrote

So I swam across, 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 I'm cryin', cryin', cryin'
Don't ya' 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
Oh Yeah
Hey Bob

Hey, Bobba Needle

C'est une triste histoire
À propos d'une fille nommée Mary Mac
Et son amoureux Bob Needle qui se demande

(Doucement)
Je peux l'entendre appeler
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
Toute habillée en noir, noir, noir
Tu ne sais pas que j'essaie, j'essaie, j'essaie'
De revenir, revenir, revenir
Parce que j'ai pris l'avion, avion, avion
Mais il y avait de la pluie, pluie, pluie
Et il n'y avait pas de vol, vol, vol'
Alors j'ai pris un train, train, train

Oh Mary, Mac, Mac, Mac
Il a déraillé, voie, voie, voie
Ne vois-tu pas que je suis en train de mourir, mourir, mourir'
De revenir à toi, revenir, revenir

(Oh ! Doucement)
Je peux t'entendre appeler
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

Bon, j'ai pris un bateau, bateau, bateau
Mais il ne voulait pas flotter, flotter, flotter
Alors j'ai continué à fumer, fumer, fumer'
C'était tout ce qu'il y avait à dire, à dire, à dire

Alors j'ai nagé, nagé, nagé
Et j'ai acheté un cheval, cheval, cheval
Mais il ne fait que courir, courir, courir'
Tout autour de la piste, piste, piste
Bébé, je ne mens pas, pas, pas'
Ne vois-tu pas que je pleure, pleure, pleure'
Tu ne sais pas que j'essaie, j'essaie, j'essaie'
De revenir à Mary Mac

(Oh ! Doucement)
Je peux t'entendre crier
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
Oh Oui
Hey Bob
