text: Ooh, this is a story bout Mary and Joe
  Two young lovers from long ago
  Just a small-town romance that you might know
  Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  A rumor got started, or so they say
  That Joe got Mary in a family way
  Neighbors started talkin, the word got around
  Joe said, Mary, gotta blow this town
  Oh, Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  In a beat up Buick on the open road
  Chuck Berry playin on the radio
  Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  Joe said, Mary, just a few more miles
  You can make it, baby, just gimme a smile
  I can see Bethlehem up ahead
  They got a buffet breakfast and a motel bed
  Yeah, Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  Lookin for a place where they can go
  The heater went out, it was twenty below
  Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  Well, theyre all filled up at the Motel 6
  Joe said, Man, were in a hell of a fix
  But dont you worry, baby, itll be alright
  Theres angels up in heaven lookin down tonight
  Thats right
  Oh, Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  And a pretty little baby in swaddlin clothes
  Star in the east cast a heavenly glow
  Over Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  Yeah, wouldnt be long before the world would know
  About Joe and Mary, Mary and Joe
  Oh, yeah
  Joe and Mary
  Joe and Mary
  Joe and Mary
  Joe and Mary
  Oh, Mary and Joe
  Joe and Mary

  Oh, Mary and Joe
