Lyrics
I wanna tell you a story 'bout Mary Lou
You know the kind of a woman make a fool of you
She make a young man itch
Make an old man faint
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
(Mary Lou)
She took the keys for my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy, and drove off far
Left me stranded in Kalamazoo
Makin' her fortune off a fool like you
She married a rich man
Had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid
Mary Lou
(Mary Lou)
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
(Mary Lou)
She took everything
(Mary Lou)
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy, drove off far
Come back into town about a week ago
Told me she was sorry that she hurt me so
I had a '55 Ford and a two-dollar bill
The way she looked at that, man, gave me a chill
Mary Lou
(Mary Lou)
Took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
(Mary Lou)
She took my watch and chain
(Mary Lou)
She took the keys for my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy, drove off far
Mary Lou
(Mary Lou)
She took my diamond ring
Mary Loun
(Mary Lou)
She took everything
(Mary Lou)
Took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Caddy, drove off far
Hi
Drove off far
Drove off far
Drove off far
Oh, kept on drivin' that car
Took everything I had, stuck in it that car
Yeah-eh
Jumped in my Caddy
Drove off far
