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
You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And, oh, I wanted you forever more
Now I'm not one that gets around
Swear my feet stuck to the ground
And 'though I never did meet you before
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
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
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
