The Hollyfelds - Mary Lou lyrics

Oh I'm just an old man in love with the ghost Of a girl who was just pa**ing through And if we should meet when I pa** through the gate I'll spend forever with my loving Mary Lou Well she was thin and tall and plenty pretty When they met at the factory where they both worked in the city He said "darling, I've got my sights set on you Take my hand and be my loving Mary Lou." They bought a little blue house out in the country He went to work and she stayed home with the babies Times were tough but there were good times too Long as he had his loving Mary Lou After a long, hard battle She lost the fight He held her hand as she sailed up And into the night He whispered "my heart will always be true To you, my loving Mary Lou."
