Lyrics

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 on old 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 down 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 I've wanted for mine
Some that I wanted to stay
But I never knew what happiness was
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' at that man
One that knows my mary jane
Mary jane, mary jane, lord my mary jane
