[Verse 1]
When I was young and in my prime
I thought I never could marry
But I fell in love with a pretty little gal
And sure enough we married

[Chorus]
Ring-kama-tin-tin Mary
Prettiest little gal that I ever did see
Her name was Devilish Mary

[Verse 2]
She washed my clothes in old soap suds
She brushed my back with switches
Let me know I was to mine
And she's gonna wear the britches

[Chorus]
Ring-kama-tin-tin Mary
Prettiest little gal that I ever did see
Her name was Devilish Mary

[Verse 3]
She cast her eyes at other guys
Nearly drove me crazy
Said I looked like my old dog
And I was twice as lazy
[Chorus]
Ring-kama-tin-tin Mary
Prettiest little gal that I ever did see
Her name was Devilish Mary

[Verse 4]
Hadn't been married but about two weeks
She got as mean as the devil
And every time I looked cross-eyed
She'd hit me on the head with a shevil

[Chorus]
Ring-kama-tin-tin Mary
Prettiest little gal that I ever did see
Her name was Devilish Mary

[Verse 5]
We hadn't been married but just two months
Decided better be parted
So she upped with a little judge
And down the road she started

[Chorus]
Ring-kama-tin-tin Mary
Prettiest little gal that I ever did see
Her name was Devilish Mary
[Verse 6]
If I ever marry the second time
It will not be for riches
I'll be a little girl about four feet tall
So she can't wear my britches

[Chorus]
Ring-kama-tin-tin Mary
Prettiest little gal that I ever did see
Her name was Devilish Mary
Her name was Devilish Mary
