Verse:
Marybelle won't you take my hand
Won't you take my word this time
Marybelle won't you take a ride
On this ferris wheel with me

Marybelle it's been a while
Since I've seen those lonesome eyes
Marybelle won't you take a ride
On this ferris wheel with me

Verse:
Incandescent lights
Blinkin', shining brightly in your eyes
Chase those colors 'round,
Chase that red and blue and green

Candy apple, popcorn ball,
Touch that metal, feel that bar
Swing on over, looking down,
Looking far below

Bridge:

Verse:
Marybelle won't you take my hand
Won't you take my word this time
Marybelle won't you take a ride
On this ferris wheel with me

Marybelle it's been a while
Since I've seen those lonesome eyes
Marybelle won't you take a ride
On this ferris wheel with me
