Mary Lou (early version) [studio rehearsal, January 19, 1973] Songtext
I′m going to tell you a story about old 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
I'm going to tell you a story about old 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
I'm going to tell you a story about old 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
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, 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
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
I'm going to tell you a story about old 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
I'm going to tell you a story about old 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
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, 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
