Key: Ab major•
Verse 1
Ab
Db
I went down to Vicksburg town,
a -courtin' all unwary
And there I met a fair young maid,
but her name was Devilish
Mary
the prettiest gal that I ever did see,
Db
Ab
but her name was Devilish Mary
I only knew her one day
Told me on that very same day
she'd marry me next Sunday
the prettiest gal that I ever
did see
Db
Ab
Db
But her name was Devilish Mary
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
Ab
Db
She washed 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
the prettiest gal that I ever did see
Db
Ab
But her name was Devilish Mary
I wished that I was single
Cause every time I looked cross -eyed,
she'd hit me on the head with a shovel
the prettiest gal that I ever did see,
Db
Ab
but her name was Devilish Mary
I think we're better parted
No sooner had I said them words,
she packed her clothes and started
prettiest gal that I ever did see,
it won't be for love nor riches
I'll marry a gal about four foot tall
and she can't wear the britches
the prettiest gal that I ever did see
Db

But her name was Devilish Mary
