Now when i go to work, i work all day, Always turns out the same. When i bring home my hard-earned pay I spend my money all on mary jane. Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane. Oh if a man should look tame now, mean and mature, They all turn out the same. 'cause they can't do nothing to make a man feel good Like my old mary jane. Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane. Now i walk in the street now lookin' for a friend One that can lend me some change. And he never questions my reason why, 'cause he too loves mary jane. Mary jane, mary jane, lord, my mary jane. Well, i have known women that wanted no man, Some that wanted to stay. But i never knew what happened in this world Till i met up with mary jane, Mary jane, mary jane, lord my mary jane. Oh, when i'm feelin' lonesome and i'm feelin' blue, There's only one way to change. Now i walk down the street now lookin' for a man, One that knows my mary jane, Mary jane, mary jane, lord my mary jane.
