Lyrics

Passed me by one summer day, flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oh, I wanted you forevermore
I’m not one that gets around, swear my feet’s stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I’m so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we’d never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

I saw your lips, I heard your voice, believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn’t make me stay away
I thought about a moonlit night, arms around you good an’ tight
And that’s all I had to see for me to say

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I’m so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we’d never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I’m so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we’d never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
