Gene Pitney - Hello Mary Lou - Year Song Released 1960

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.

You passed me by one sunny day.

Flashed those big brown eyes my way.

And ooo I wanted you for ever more.

Now I`m not one that gets around.

I swear my feet stuck to the ground.

And though I never did meet you before.

(What do ya say)

I said hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart.

Sweet Mary Lou I`m so in love with you.

(I love you)

I knew Mary Lou, we`d never part

So hello Mary Lou goodbye heart.

---(Musical Interlude)---

I saw your lips I heard your voice.

Believe me I just had no choice.

While horses couldn`t make me stay away.

I thought about a moonlit night.

My arms around you good and tight.

That`s all I had to see for me to say.

(What do ya' say)

Hey hey hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Sweet Mary Lou I`m so in love with you

(I love you)

I knew Mary Lou we`d never part.

So hello Mary Lou goodbye heart...

FADE;

Hey hey hello Mary Lou goodbye heart...

I remember that my Dad always liked this song--so did I. I didn't know that Gene Pitney wrote it. Great song!

Funny how Gene Pitney followed the "bizarro" route of a reverse British invasion. While The Beatles and the other Brit bands became stars in the U.S., Gene spent much of his later career performing at music halls in the U.K. I also just missed seeing him in Bournemouth not long before he passed away.

I'll agree with tonithenigthtowl. Pitney may have written it but the combination of Ricky Nelson and James Burton put it over the top. But that also doesn't take anything away from the Rockville Rocket he will always have his place in the ground base of Rock and Roll

@Tonithenightowl ... It is strange and ironic how thru time many song writers could write songs that were hits for others but not for themselves. Kris Kristofferson was a prime example of that. VA24541 bashed me and said I needed hearing aids but the other comments seem to support my opinion. I am not saying it was a disaster, just saying it wasn't his best performance. I have songs that I have done that I would rather not let anyone hear yet others say they sound just fine... to each his own.

@CooleGuy Gary you do know Gene wrote this? But I agree, it may not have been a huge hit had not Ricky Nelson recorded it. Gene said he thought Nelson's version was primo. Same with Rubber Ball, and He's a Rebel. They may not have had the same impact had he kept them for himself. His huge hits were written just for him, by the likes of Hal & Burt. Mann and Weil.His voice required very sophisticated music.

@CooleGuy Hmmm well, while not a Pitney original, isn't like he was off key. I agree, there are times when only the original will do. Of course now I will see if I can find your video, and then I will get back to you and tell you if you were being conceited or not.

Had tickets to see Gene Pitney on tour at the Colston Hall in Bristol, but he died the night before after a show in Cardiff, had seen him a couple of times before and loved all his hits. Have to say, much prefer the Ricky Nelson version of this song. So was one night away from seeing him on that tour, 24 hours from Bristol.

Though I enjoy listening to Gene Pitney's own hits I think he missed the boat on this one and shoul dhave left it alone. I posted my own cover of it and while I am not a pro adn I am not trying to sound conceited, I think mine sounds better.

@ezekielwahwah His record sales would tend to contradict your 'wise' comments, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Like in mine and I would think most people you come into contact with, you are a dickhead, man!!!!

@hirdy6 Fuck, you got "Elvis Presley - Sentimental Me" among your favorites lol, what's harsher than that? Just about anything. AHAHAHAH Oh and by the way, Elvis was a clown. The real king of rockabilly was and will always be the great Eddie Cochran, man.

@hirdy6 Also the CCR version is better. Sorry for the harshness. :-)

@ezekielwahwah Yes well you're allowed to sound anyway you like if you write the song. Slimy and viscid is very harsh.
