Little Mara Lee always sings so sweet 

On the banks of the river running through downtown 

A show tonight with sweet sweet sounds 

Crossed to Tennessee 

But it's sweet sweet Mara Lee 

Whose voice is calling me back home 

To the banks of the river where I belong 

And all there is is one last song 

Now the band is giving it their all 

She says these are the best of days 

Won't you stay and dance with me awhile 



Little Mara Lee always sings so sweet 

The pain in your heart is rock and roll 

The tears in your eyes is rock and roll 

Little Mara Lee always sings so sweet 

The blood in your veins is rock and roll 

The kiss of your lips is rock and roll
