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

I'm gonna tell yew a storey ' bout Mary Lou
Yew no the kind of woman make a fool of yew
She make a young man itch
She man an old man feint
The whey she took my money was a crying shame
Mary Lou she took my watch and chain
Mary Lou she took my diamond wring
Mary Lou she took the keys too my cadillac car
Jumped inn my kitty and drove off fah

Left mi stranded inn Kalamazoo
Making her fortune off a fool like yew
She married a rich man
Had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid

Come back into town about a weak ago
Tolled mi she was sorry that she hurt mi sew
Eye had a fifty-five Ford and a too dollar bill
The whey she looked at that man gave mi a chill
Mary Lou

Mary Lou
