 G/// ////  D7   G///  D7////  G/ 
  C        G
When I was young and in my prime,
I thought I never would marry;
        G                  D7
Fell in love with a pretty little girl
               G
And sure ‘nuff we got married
                   D7
Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re,
Prettiest girl I'd ever saw
 D7                G
 name was Devilish Mary
G
We were both young and foolish
Got in a powerful hurry;
We both agreed upon one word
        D7              G
And the wedding day was Thursday.
D7
Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re
Prettiest girl I'd ever saw
        D7                G
And her name was Devilish Mary
 G/// ////  D7/  G////  D7////  G/
G
We hadn't been married but about three weeks
           D7          G
she got as mean as the devil,
                     D7
every time I looked cross-eyed
She knocked me in the head with the shovel.
G       D7
Ah Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re
Prettiest girl I'd ever saw
        D7                G
And her name was Devilish Mary
Harmonica(G 4 BARS D7 G D7 2 BARS G
G
You washed my clothes in old soap suds
    A                    G
and the back full of stitches
    A                 G
She let me know right at the start
     D7                G
That she’s gonna where the britches.
D7
Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re
Prettiest girl I'd ever saw
        D7                  G
And her name was Devilish Mary
Harmonica ( G 3 bars D 2 bars G )
G
We hadn't been married but about six months
                     A
she said we'd better be parted;
G
So she up and left with her Little ole duds
     D7
And down the road she started .
G                     D7
Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re
Prettiest girl I'd ever saw

the name was Devilish Mary
Harmonica ( G 3 bars D7 2 bars G )
G
If I marry the second time
It'll be for the love not riches;
It'll be a little girl, about two foot high,
             D7   G
So she can't wear my britches!
D7
Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re
Prettiest girl I'd ever saw
        D7                  G
And her name was Devilish Mary
