Did you see my Mary go round
Spreading lies all over town
Telling anyone who'd listen that I'm to blame
Did you see my Mary go round
Telling lies putting me down
Doing her best to destroy my good name
For a while Mary and I were happy
And I thought that we'd always be
But soon she just started running wild
And soon she was cheatin' on me
So I told her that I was leaving
And I guess that hurt her pride
She said she'd ruin my reputation
And lord knows that she truly tried
For a while I thought that she might change
Yes I hoped that she'd settle down
But no she was just wild by nature
That's what makes my Mary go round
Doing her best to destroy my good name
