Verse 1
G

 (G major) I went  (C major) down to Vicksburg town,
a -courtin' all unwary
And there I met a fair young maid,
but her name was Devilish
Mary
G 
Coyamalington  (G major) Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see,
C 
G 
but her name was Devilish  (C major) Mary  (G major) 
C 
 (C major) 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
G 
Coy Malinka  (G major) Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever
did see
C 
G 
C 
But her name was Devilish Mary  (C major)  (G major)  (C major) 
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
G 
Coy Malinka  (G major) Mary,
G 
the  (G major) prettiest gal that I ever did see
C 
But her name was Devilish  (C major) Mary
G 
C 
She washed  (G major)  (C major) 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
G 
Coy Malink to  (G major) Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see
C 
G 
But her name was Devilish  (C major) Mary  (G major)

 (C major) 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
G 
Coy Malink to  (G major) Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see,
C 
G 
but her name was Devilish  (C major) Mary  (G major)

I think we're better parted
No sooner had I said them words,
she packed her clothes and started
G 
Coy Malink to  (G major) Mary,
prettiest gal that I ever did see,
C 
but her name was Devilish  (C major) Mary
C 
 (C major) 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
G 
I am a link to  (G major) Mary,
the prettiest gal that I ever did see
C 
C 
But her name was Devilish  (C major) Mary  (C major)
