  • "Hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart
    Sweet Mary Lou
    I'm so in love with you

    I knew Mary Lou
    We'd never part
    So hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart"

    You passed me by one sunny day
    Flashed those big brown eyes my way
    And ooh I wanted you forever more
    Now I'm not one that gets around
    I swear my feet stuck to the ground
    And though I never did meet you before

    I said "hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart
    Sweet Mary Lou
    I'm so in love with you

    I knew Mary Lou
    We'd never part
    So hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart"

    I saw your lips I heard your voice
    Believe me I just had no choice
    Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
    I thought about a moonlit night
    Arms around you, good an' tight
    All I had to see for me to say

    I said "hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart
    Sweet Mary Lou
    I'm so in love with you

    I knew Mary Lou
    We'd never part
    So "hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart
    Yes, hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart
    Well, hello Mary Lou
    Goodbye heart" Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

    God Bless you Ricky Nelson
  • Paul from CanadaThe guitar is one of the best in R&R.
  • Kathleen from CaI know there are heaps of people who really like this song, as they find it happy and up-beat, but if you really listen well to it it's actually quite a sad song. What he's saying is that because he's so in love with this woman he knows he has to stick around - but there's a price to pay (heartbreak.)
  • Greg from Shelbyville, KyThe Statler Brothers had a big hit with this on the country charts in the 80s.
