[Verse 1]
E5 D I'm going to tell you a story about old Mary Lou E5 D I mean the kind of a girl that make a fool of you E5 D She make a young man old and an old man pay E5 N.C. E5 The way she took my money was a crying shame
[Chorus]
E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my watch and chain E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my diamond ring E5 D She took the keys to my Cadillac car E5 N.C. E5 Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar
[Verse 2]
E5 D Put a detective on her trail E5 D The post office thought they'd chase her by the mail E5 D She got picked up and then was put in jail E5 N.C. E5 Stroked the judge just to go home bail
[Chorus]
E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my watch and chain E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my diamond ring E5 D She took the keys to my Cadillac car E5 N.C. E5 Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar
[Verse 3]
E5 D She left Detroit to go to Kalamazoo E5 D Made her a fortune out of fools like you E5 D Met her a rich man who was married and had some kids E5 N.C. E5 Stroked that cat until he flipped his lid
[Chorus]
E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my watch and chain E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my diamond ring E5 D She took the keys to my Cadillac car E5 N.C. E5 Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar
[Verse 4]
E5 D She came back into town about a week ago E5 D Told me she's sorry she had hurt me so E5 D I had a '65 ford and a two dollar bill E5 N.C. E5 The way she took that Lord, it gave me a thrill
[Chorus]
E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my watch and chain E5 D Mary Lou, Mary Lou she took my diamond ring E5 D She took the keys to my Cadillac car E5 D Jumped in my caddy and she drove afar
