I'm gon to tell you a story bout a Miss Mary Lou
I mean the kind of a girl who'll make a fool of you
She'll make a young man groan and her old mans pain

The way she took my money was a cryin' shame

Mary Lou (Mary Lou) she took my watch and chain

Mary Lou (Mary Lou) she took my diamond ring
Mary Lou, she took the keys to my Cadillac car
(Mary Lou) jumped in my kitty and then drove a-far


Well, she left from Detroit a-goin' to Kalamazoo-ooo
Made her a fortune outta fools like you-woo

Met her a rich man who was married an had two kids
She soaked that cat until he flipped his lid


Mary Lou (Mary Lou) she took my watch and chain
Mary Lou (Mary Lou) she took my diamond ring
Mary Lou, she took the keys to my Cadillac car

(Mary Lou) jumped in my kitty and then drove a-far

Well, I put a detective to roam her trail

Post office so that they could trace her mail
She got picked up and then was sent to jail
She clipped the judge just to pay her bail (bail)

Well, she came back to town about a week ago
She told me she was sorry she had hurt me so

I had a fifty-five Ford and two dollar bill
The way she took that, man she gave me a chill (chill)
