Statler Brothers, The - Hello Mary Lou (Goodbye Heart) Lyrics






Passed me by one summer day, flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oh, I wanted you forevermore
I'm not one that gets around, swear my feet's stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

I saw your lips, I heard your voice, believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
I thought about a moonlit night, arms around you good an' tight
And that's all I had to see for me to say

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

    This is my first time hearing the Statler Bros version of this song, and I can honestly say that I think they did it some justice.

    K.... N....

    Kim Nunley thats Harold Reid

  21. C.... ....

    Love the bass singer! Reminds me of listening to gospel songs at my grandparents house years ago.

    C.... ....

    ChessieSeaboardX I have a lot of gospel oldies, they're called hymns, when I say alot... I really mean A LOT! LOL

    C.... ....

    The Statlers put a gospel song on every one of their albums throughout their entire career. In addition to that they have several gospel albums that are wonderful. The last one they did before they retired is called Amen. Look for it. It is amazing!

    C.... ....

    @Sarah Williamson The Oak Ridge Boys also included @ least ONE gospel song on their albums.

    C.... ....

    Kevin Miller. I am well aware.

  22. A.... ....

    That deep voice is amazing.

    A.... Z....

    That's Harold Reid.

    A.... Z....

    that's Harold his brother Don is the lead singer

    A.... Z....

    The great Harold Reid on bass vocals here. He's the only one I've heard that can rival Richard sterban of the O. R. B. as far as hitting low notes go.

    A.... Z....

    @Molon Labe If you think HIS voice is deep, listen to JD Sumner; his voice is even deeper, even when he speaks.

  24. m.... ....

    Ha haaa!! My stepmother's name was Mary Lou and she was the proverbial Wicked Witch of the West. But that don't deter me none from likin this here song. Love the Bassist...Ol Sarge...

    m.... ....

  25. D.... W....

    The boys hit #3 on ACC, 7-13-85. God bless y'all, Statlers!

  26. W.... H....

    a good make out song

  27. M.... ....

    I <3 country! Why? Well... San Andreas, you know. ;d

  28. G.... W....

    Not quite the version compared to the one by Ricky Nelson. Ricky does a better job.

    G.... W....

    +Glen W. Ford That is a song from the Oak Ridge Boys, isn't it.."Your're The One," I mean?

    G.... W....

    +Useless2112 You have to watch out for 'rumors,' because that is all they are..and they are usually spread by fools lol.

    By the way, "Hello Mary Lou."

    G.... W....

    +Glen W. Ford lol.  Are there really songs on those topics.."gangsters and dicks?"  What was my response to gabby Nellie?  I do not see her message or my response..     :/

    G.... W....

    +Jim Cholley -Yes--Rappers have used that topic occasionally and as for you guys reading this I`m not taking a cheap shot at rappers. Gabby Nellie (Useless2112) hasn`t responded but you sure hit the nail on the head with &#39. The group Geto Boys have hit that topic albeit it`s more on street gangs & drugs.

    G.... W....

    +Glen W. Ford Oh okay..and just for the record, rap/gansger music is nothing I would get into.  I would not even call that stuff "music."

  29. P.... P....

    @Clinton Neumann 2014!

  30. A.... P....

    This is by far my favorite version of this song.

    A.... P....

    Mine too!

    A.... P....

    @Twitchy Hedwig I love the deep guys voice lol

    A.... P....

    Twitchy Hedwig the Statler Brothers are my all time favorite oldies country band, I have 5 full albums of theirs lol

    A.... P....

    @The Italiano 21 What about 'hers'? Get it? Lol.

  31. C.... B....

    who cares

  32. A.... D....

    If they made a song as good as this for a men, I would save it and play it over and over again ... to remind me every day of my man.

  33. C.... Z....

    Sure beats Ricky Nelson's version!

    C.... Z....

    because of Bass Harold Reid.

    C.... Z....

    @Adam Kelleher I like Rick Nelson's version.

  34. s.... ....
