Sioux City Sue

I drove a herd of cattle down from old nebraska way
That's how I come to be in the state of ioway
I met a girl in ioway, her eyes were big and blue
I asked her what her name was, she said "sioux city sue"

Sioux city sue, sioux city sue
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux city sue, sioux city sue
There ain't no gal as true as
My sweet sioux city sue

I asked her if she had a beau, she said "yes, quite a few"
But still I started courtin' my sweet sioux city sue
The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealing two
I asked her did she love me, she said "indeed I do"

Sioux city sue, sioux city sue
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux city sue, sioux city sue
There ain't no gal as true as
My sweet sioux city sue

Now, I'm admitting, iowa, I owe a lot to you
'Cause I come from nebraska to find sioux city sue
I'm gonna rope and tie her up, I'll use my old lasso
I'm gonna put my brand on my sweet sioux city sue

Sioux city sue, sioux city sue
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux city sue, sioux city sue
There ain't no gal as true as
My sweet sioux city sue
