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

Dear wastebasket care of Mary Lou
