Mary Lou

Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks Roulette R-4177

(Hawkins--Magill) Patricia Music BMI





I'm going to tell you a story about Mary Lou

I mean the kind of a woman who makes a fool of you

She makes a young man groan and an old man pain

The way she took my money was a crying shame



(Mary Lou, Mary Lou) She took my diamond ring

(Mary Lou, Mary Lou) She took my watch and chain

(Mary Lou) She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Kitty and she drove a-far



Left me stranded in Kalamazoo

Making her a fortune off a fool like you

She got her 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 my watch and chain

(Mary Lou) She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Kitty and she drove a-far



Well, she come back into town about a week ago

Told me sorry that she hurt me so

I had a fifty-five Ford and a two dollar bill

When she took a-that, a-man it gave me a chill



(Mary Lou, Mary Lou) She took my diamond ring

(Mary Lou, Mary Lou) She took my watch and chain

(Mary Lou) She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Kitty and she drove a-far

Well, she jumped in my Kitty and she drove a-faaaarrrrr

FADE:

(Ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo)
