Mary Lou Lyrics - Buddy Knox + Buddy Knox & Jimmy Bowen - Buddy Knox

I'm gonna tell you a story 

'Bout ol' Mary Lou 

I mean the kind of a girl 

That make a fool of you 

She make a young man old 

And an old man pay 

The way she took my money 

Was a crying shame 

Mary Lou, Mary Lou 

She took my watch and chain 

Mary Lou, Mary Lou 

She took my diamond ring 

She took the keys to my Cadillac car 

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar 

Put a detective 

On her trail 

The post office thought 

They'd chase her by the mail 

She got picked up 

And then was put in jail 

Stroked the judge 

Just to go her bail 

Mary Lou, Mary Lou 

She took my watch and chain 

Mary Lou, Mary Lou 

She took my diamond ring 

She took the keys to my Cadillac car 

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar 

She left Detroit 

To go to Kalamazoo 

Made her a fortune 

Out of fools like you 

Met her a rich man 

Who was married and had some kids 

Stroked 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 

She took the keys to my Cadillac car 

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar 

She came back into town 

About a week ago 

Told me she's sorry 

She had hurt me so 

I had a '65 Ford 

And a two dollar bill 

The way she took that 

Lord, it gave me a thrill 

Mary Lou 

She took my watch and chain 

Mary Lou, Mary Lou 

She took my diamond ring 

She took the keys to my Cadillac car 

Jumped in my Caddy and she drove afar
