Mary Lou

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 faint
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 kids
Drove that cat until 
He flipped his lid
Come back into town
About a week 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
