Lyrics Little Mary Joe - Roberta Kelly

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.
