 I'm going to tell you a story about Mary Lou
 I mean the kind of a woman who makes a fool of you
 She makes a young man groan and an old man pain
 The way she took my money was a crying shame

 (Mary Lou, Mary Lou) She took my diamond ring
 (Mary Lou, 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 a-far

 Left me stranded in Kalamazoo
 Making 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, Mary Lou) She took my diamond ring
 (Mary Lou, 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 a-far

 Well, she come back into town about a week ago
 Told me sorry that she hurt me so
 I had a fifty-five Ford and a two dollar bill
 When she took a-that, a-man it gave me a chill

 (Mary Lou, Mary Lou) She took my diamond ring
 (Mary Lou, 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 a-far
 Well, she jumped in my Kitty and she drove a-faaaarrrrr
 FADE:
 (Ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo, ah-roo)
