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 fart

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 mountain goats

Drove that cat until he flipped his lid



Come back into town about a year 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
