Mary Lou:Ronnie Hawkins.
#26 in 1959.
#1.
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.
CHORUS:
(Mary Lou)She took my diamond ring.
(Mary Lou)She took my watch and chain.
(Mary Lou)She took the keys to my Cadillac car..
jumped in my Kiddy and she drove a-far.
#2.
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.
CHORUS:
(Mary Lou)She took my diamond ring.
(Mary Lou)She took my watch and chain.
(Mary Lou)She took the keys to my Cadillac car..
jumped in my Kiddy and she drove a-far.
(INTERLUDE:SAX:)
#3.
Well, she come back into town about a week ago.
Told me she was sorry that she hurt me so.
I had a fifty-five Ford and a two dollar bill..
when she took that, man it gave me a chill.
CHORUS:
(Mary Lou)She took my diamond ring.
(Mary Lou)She took my watch and chain.
(Mary Lou)She took the keys to my Cadillac car..
jumped in my Kiddy and she drove a-far.
OUTRO:
Well, she jumped in my Kiddie and she drove a-farrrr.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
