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

She took my diamond ring

She took my watch and chain
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


She took my diamond ring
She took my watch and chain
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


She took my diamond ring
She took my watch and chain

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
