Lyrics

Sittin on my corner step, and I’m watchin’ Mary Lou.
Want to say hello, but I don’t know what to do.
Sittin’ on my corner step, and all I do is stare,
waitin’ on the time when Mary Lou get in my hair.

Mary Lou, well you have changed so much,
Mary Lou, well you’re a stranger
and I didn’t know how to say hello to you.

I had a dream the other night, the angels came to me,
brought my Mary Lou along and with a guarantee,
that she’d be true to no one else, but she’d be true to me,
but I awoke, the angels left, and by God then so did she.

Mary Lou, you have changed so much,
Mary Lou, well you’re a stranger
and I didn’t know how to say hello to you.

Well I saw her leave the other day, without a partin’ word.
Mary Lou went East they say, at least that’s what I’ve heard.
And now I’m sittin’ on that corner, and I’m waitin’ just the same.
I’ll grow old awaitin’ for that gal to come again.

Mary Lou, you have changed so much,
Mary Lou, well you’re a stranger
and I didn’t know how to say goodbye to you.
