Mary, Mary Lou
 Why must you do
 The things that you always do


 Honey, I've been here a-crying
 Sipping and a-sighing
 To think it's all because of you


 I know the other night you told me
 You were gonna marry
 Someone who's in love with you, yeah
 And the time I used to
 be your golden rooster
 But now I can see that we are through


 Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
 What in the world is the matter with you
 You're always doing me so wrong


 Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
 What in the world is the matter with you
 And know you want to say so long


 Mary, Mary Lou
 Why must you do
 Those things that you always do


 I can hear a-crying
 Sipping and a-sighing
 To think it's all because of you


 You were gonna marry
 Someone who's in love with you, yeah
 And the time I used to
 be your golden rooster
 But now I can see that we are through


 Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
 What in the world is the matter with you
 You're always doing me so wrong


 Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
 What in the world is the matter with you
 And knew you want to say so long


 Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
 What in the world is the matter with you
 Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
 What in the world is the matter with you
