Mary Lou

Lyrics

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
