Mary Jane, lyric by Janis Joplin

from the songs album From The Soundtrack Of The Motion Picture Janis

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.
