I'm going to tell you a story 'bout
a-Mary Lou
I mean the kind of a woman make
a fool outta you
She make a young man groan and
an old man pain
The way she took my money was a
cryin' shame

Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Kitty and she drove afar

Left me stranded in a-Kalamazoo
Makin' her a fortune off a fool like you
She got her a rich man, had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid

Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Kitty and she drove afar

Well, she 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 took that, man, it gave
me a chill

Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my Kitty and she drove afar
Well, she jumped in my Kitty and she
drove afar
