Mary Lou — The Steve Miller Band

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
