Steve Miller - Mary Lou lyrics

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
