I've done just as you said dear, I'll give you a smile for a tear.
I'd even give you the moon above, hoping that you may come to love.
And now I'd give you the sun that shines.

Now I've made you happy, and why do you leave me cryin'?
Although it is true, my heart belongs to you.
But bye bye, sweet Mary Lou.

My lonesome days beginning tomorrow, and my poor heart will be left full of sorrow.
Please come back dear, every day seems like a year.
I love you but yet you don't care.

Although you've got my heart your way, I'll make you learn to love someday.
Come back Mary, you know I love you true.
May God bless you, sweet Mary Lou.
