I've been writin' Mary Lou letters every day

    C                               D7             G7
But I just found out lately how she throws ’em all away

C              C7        F                Fm
She don't even bother to read the words I say

C                                    G7                  C
So I'm gonna write her one last time and I'll begin this way


                             F            G7
I'll say oh dear wastebasket care of Mary Lou

   C                          D7               G7
If you see her say I need her like I'll always do

C                 C7      F             Fm
She won't read my letters so I write to you
