(Y. Jessie and S. Ling)

I'm gonna tell you a story

'Bout ol' Mary Lou

I mean the kind of a girl

That make a fool of you



She make a young man old

And an old man pay

The way she took my money

Was a crying shame



Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar



Put a detective

On her trail

The post office thought

They'd chase her by the mail



She got picked up

And then was put in jail

Stroked the judge

Just to go her bail



Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar



She left Detroit

To go to Kalamazoo

Made her a fortune

Out of fools like you



Met her a rich man

Who was married and had some kids

Stroked that cat

Until he flipped his lid



Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar



She came back into town

About a week ago

Told me she's sorry

She had hurt me so



I had a '65 Ford

And a two dollar bill

The way she took that

Lord, it gave me a thrill



Mary Lou

She took my watch and chain

Mary Lou, Mary Lou

She took my diamond ring

She took the keys to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar
