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
