I'm gonna tell you a story |
|
'bout ol' mary lou |
|
I mean the kind of a girl |
|
That make a fool of you |
|
She make a young man old |
|
And an old man pay |
|
The way she took my money |
|
Was a crying shame |
|
Mary lou, mary lou |
|
She took my watch and chain |
|
Mary lou, mary lou |
|
She took my diamond ring |
|
She took the keys to my cadillac car |
|
Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar |
|
Put a detective |
|
On her trail |
|
The post office thought |
|
They'd chase her by the mail |
|
She got picked up |
|
And then was put in jail |
|
Stroked the judge |
|
Just to go her bail |
|
Mary lou, mary lou |
|
She took my watch and chain |
|
Mary lou, mary lou |
|
She took my diamond ring |
|
She took the keys to my cadillac car |
|
Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar |
|
She left detroit |
|
To go to kalamazoo |
|
Made her a fortune |
|
Out of fools like you |
|
Met her a rich man |
|
Who was married and had some kids |
|
Stroked that cat |
|
Until he flipped his lid |
|
Mary lou, mary lou |
|
She took my watch and chain |
|
Mary lou, mary lou |
|
She took my diamond ring |
|
She took the keys to my cadillac car |
|
Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar |
|
She came back into town |
|
About a week ago |
|
Told me she's sorry |
|
She had hurt me so |
|
I had a '65 ford |
|
And a two dollar bill |
|
The way she took that |
|
Lord, it gave me a thrill |
|
Mary lou |
|
She took my watch and chain |
|
Mary lou, mary lou |
|
She took my diamond ring |
|
She took the keys to my cadillac car |
|
Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar |
