Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
She was born on the wrong side of town
A young and pretty girl and a lonely ghetto child
Growin' up, goin' wild
Her daddy was a rolling stone
A handsome man who had a different woman in every town
He never settled down
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
Before the sun would rise at dawn
Her mother would be gone, workin' seven days a week
Just tryin' to make ends meet
She was down and out and no one would love her
Little Mary Jo
Like her father she never knew
Became a rolling stone too
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, 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)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
In the window of her years
Still all alone, a love she needed so desperately
Was never meant to be
She learned her lesson hard and well
True love can't be found by being a rolling stone
You've got to have a home
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, little Mary Jo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Little Mary Jo, little Mary Jo
