Who's got the funk
When you're feeling low down?
Who's going to love you
When there is no one else around? Who's going to help you
Especially when you're sick?
Mother Mary
I need you quick She knows and she gives her everything
She knows that she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh you know she knows us Who's got the junk
When you're feeling low down?
Who's going to give
When there's none to go around? Who's going to help you
When you feel you've had enough?
Mother Mary
This time it's rough She knows and she gives her everything
She knows that she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh you know she knows us But Mother Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya?
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya?
Just a slide guitar injection Who's got the stuff
When you're feeling low down?
Who's going to help you
When there is no one else around? Who's going to love you
Especially when you're ill?
Mother Mary
I hope you will She knows and she gives her everything
She knows but she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh you know she knows us But Mother Mary
Do you feel the pain?
I'm falling down
And I can't get up again Mother Mary
Is there nothin' you can do?
