Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart

Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you

I knew, Mary Lou, we'd never part

So hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart

[Verse 2]

You passed me by one sunny day

Flashed those big brown eyes my way

And ooh I wanted you forevermore

Now I'm not one that gets around

Swear my feet stuck to the ground

And though I never did meet you before

[Verse 3]

I said, "Hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart

Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you"

I knew, Mary Lou, we'd never part

So hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart

[Verse 4]

I saw your lips, I heard your voice

Believe me, I just had no choice

Wild horses couldn't make me stay away

I thought about a moonlit night

Arms around you good and tight

That's all I had to see for me to say

[Verse 5]

"Hey, hey, hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart

Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you"

I knew, Mary Lou, we'd never part

So hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart

So hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart

Yes, hello, Mary Lou; goodbye, heart
