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
You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oh, I wanted you forever more
Now I’m not one that gets around
I swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before
I said: “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
My arms around you, good an’ tight
That’s all I had to see for me to say
I said: “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
Yes, hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Well, hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart”
