I was too young to know any better When Marygale started comin round Just a pretty girl I knew From the other side of town One time Marygale came around We walked down to the ballpark Got caught up in a moment of lust Stayed out way after dark I was young and innocent Didn't have a rebel's clue But the crazy life Marygale lived I was gettin myself into One night we were out walkin Mary pulled me to the ground From then on I never questioned Why Marygale came around Mary, my sweet Marygale What's gotten into you Mary, my sweet Marygale It's gotten into me too Too young to understand What a jealous bone could do to me And I was blind to everything Marygale was doin to me Marygale Jackson was comin around Marygale wanted to play But Marygale Jackson was comin around To take my soul away Coming home from work one night Saw her car down by the park Wondered why it would be She'd be down there without me Pulled up behind her parked car there Bright lights caught a frantic stare She raised up from the backseat I never dreamed my Mary would cheat The next few minutes I can't recall Much of anything that happened at all Someone called an ambulance Said a man was down Said a man was dead Mary, my sweet Marygale Whatever's gotten into you Mary, my sweet Marygale It's gotten into me too Mary, my sweet Marygale Didn't know what else to do I heard Marygale screamin above the noise and the sirens The scene, a chaotic mess But everything went blurry My heart was beatin out of my chest Marygale Jackson was comin around Marygale wanted to play But Marygale Jackson was comin around To take my soul away Marygale Jackson's been comin around Ever since my childhood days Marygale took me to church one day Taught me her wicked ways Marygale Jackson's comin round Marygale wants to play But Marygale played with another man She broke my heart that day Marygale Jackson's comin around Marygale wants to play Marygale Jackson's comin around To take my soul away Marygale Jackson's after me Marygale wants her pay But you can't pay the devil with a corpse and a curse So I put Marygale away Now Marygale Jackson's haunting me Marygale wants her pay Marygale Jackson's comin after me To take my soul away
