Ronnie Hawkins – Mary Lou lyrics

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

[Instrumental Interlude]

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)
