Devilish Mary Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I went [C]down to Vicksburg town,
a -courtin' all unwary
And there I met a fair young maid,
but her name was Devilish
Mary
Coyamalington [G]Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see,
but her name was Devilish [C]Mary[G]
[C]I met her in the spring of the year,
I only knew her one day
Told me on that very same day
she'd marry me next Sunday
Coy Malinka [G]Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever
did see
But her name was Devilish [C]Mary[G][C]
The wedding wasn't even done,
she said, the preacher tarried
She took the good book from his hands
and said that we were married
Coy Malinka [G]Mary,
the [G]prettiest gal that I ever did see
But her name was Devilish [C]Mary
She [G]washed [C]my clothes
with suds and sand,
filled my bed with switches
She let me know right from the start
that she would wear the britches
Coy Malink to [G]Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see
But her name was Devilish [C]Mary[G]
[C]We hadn't been married about two weeks,
I wished that I was single
Cause every time I looked cross -eyed,
she'd hit me on the head with a shovel
Coy Malink to [G]Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see,
but her name was Devilish [C]Mary[G]
[C]One day I spoke, I said to her,
I think we're better parted
No sooner had I said them words,
she packed her clothes and started
Coy Malink to [G]Mary,
prettiest gal that I ever did see,
but her name was Devilish [C]Mary
[C]Well, if I ever marry again,
it won't be for love nor riches
I'll marry a gal about four foot tall
and she can't wear the britches
I am a link to [G]Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see
But her name was Devilish [C]Mary[C]
