So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart,

A
Passed me by one sunny day,
D
Flashed those big brown eyes my way,
A				     E7
And ooh I wanted you forever more,
A
Now I’m not one who gets around,
D
Swear my feet stuck to the ground,
A					 E7
And though I never did see 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 you lips, I heard your voice
Believe me I just had no choice
While horses couldn't make me stay away
Thaought about a moonlit night,
Arms around you good and tight,
That's all I had to see for me to say

He he, 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,
yes hello Mary Lou goodbye heart
