Marylou

I'm going to tell you a story 'bout Marylou
You know the kind of a woman make a fool out of you
She make a young man old and a rich man lame
The way she took my money is a cry-in-shame
Marylou...
She took my diamond ring
Marylou...
She took my watch and chain
She took my keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty and she drove a-far
Left me stranded in Kalamazoo
Makin' a fortune off a fool like you
Found her a rich man, had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid
Marylou...
She took my diamond ring
Marylou...
She took my watch and chain
She took my keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty and she drove a-far
Marylou...

Marylou...
She took my diamond ring
Marylou...
She took my watch and chain
She took my keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty and she drove a-far
Marylou...
Marylou...
Marylou...
