Dev'lish Mary Songtext
von Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

When I was young and foolish
I swore I never would marry
I fell in love with a pretty little gal
And sure enough we married

Along come a-dink come a-dary
Prettiest gal that ever I saw
Her name was Devilish Mary

Look out, Mary, here comes Kelso

We both were young and foolish
She was just a girly
We both agreed upon one word
Our wedding day was Thursday

Along come a-dink come a-dary
Prettiest gal that ever I saw
Her name was Devilish Mary

Oh, Tiny, yeah


We hadn′t been married but about six weeks
She got as mean as the devil (oh)
Every time I look cross-eyed
She knocked me in the head with a shovel

Along come a-dink come a-dary
Prettiest gal that ever I saw
Her name was Devilish Mary

Oh, brother Louis

We hadn't been married ′bout six months
Both agreed to be parted
She packed up all her li'l goods
Went down the road she started

Along come a-dink come a-dary
Prettiest little gal that ever I saw
Her name was Devilish Mary
Oh, bother hurry

Yeah

If ever I marry another time (uh-huh)
It'll be for love not riches (oh, boy)
Marry a girl about two feet high
So she can wear my britches


Along come a-dink come a-dary
Prettiest gal that ever I saw
Her name was Devilish Mary
