Mary Lou

Mary Lou



I'm gonna tell you a story about Mary Lou

I mean the kind of girl that made a fool of you

She made the old man groan, a young man pain

The way she took my money it was a crying shame



Mary Lou (Mary Lou) took my diamond ring

Mary Lou (Mary Lou) oh everything

Took the key to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar



Well she left from Detroit going to Kalamazoo

Made herself a fortune out of fools like you

Met her a rich man who was married and had three kids

She stroked that cat till he flipped his lid



Mary Lou (Mary Lou) took my diamond ring

Mary Lou (Mary Lou) oh everything

Took the key to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar



Well I put a detective up on her trail

Post office so that they could trace her mail

Got picked up, was sent to jail

She stroked that cat just to pay her bail



Mary Lou (Mary Lou) took my diamond ring

Mary Lou (Mary Lou) oh everything

Took the key to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar



Now Mary Lou



Well she came back to town about a week ago

She said, Webb, I'm sorry that I hurt you so

I had a '55 Ford, a two dollar bill

The way she took mine, man, it gave me a chill



Mary Lou (Mary Lou) took my diamond ring

Mary Lou (Mary Lou) oh everything

Took the key to my Cadillac car

Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar



Now Mary Lou, Mary Lou, Mary Lou

Mary Lou, Mary Lou, my Mary Lou, Mary Lou, Mary Lou all right
