Devilish Mary Odetta

I one dressed up and went to town
To court a fair young lady
When I inquired about her name
Her name was Devilish Mary

Chorus:
Come fa la ling come, ling come
Fa la ling come, day
Fa la ling come, ling come
Fa la ling come, day

When me and Mary began to spark
She got in a hurry
Made it all up in her mind
She'd marry me next Thursday

(Chorus)
Hadn't been married for about two weeks
Before we oughta been parted
Hadn't said one single word
She'd kicked up her heels and started

(Chorus)
One day I said to Mary
"Think we ought to be parted."
And just as soon as I said the word
She packed all her clothes and started
