Mary Lou

I'm gonna tell you a story
'Bout Mary Lou
You know the kind of woman
Make a fool of you
She make a young man itch
She man an old man faint
The way she took my money
Was a crying shame
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took the keys
To my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty
And drove off far
Left me stranded in Kalamazoo
Making her fortune
Off a fool like you
She married a rich man
Had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until
He flipped his lid
Come back into town
About a week ago
Told me she was sorry
That she hurt me so
I had a fifty-five Ford
And a two dollar bill
The way she looked
At that man gave me a chill
Mary Lou
