Lyrics Betty & DuPree - Peter, Paul and Mary

Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow brings
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond rings
But if you lose your man, it won't bring you anything

Well, Betty told DuPree, "Buy me a diamond ring", yeah
Betty told DuPree, "Buy me a diamond ring"
And DuPree told Betty, "Buy you most anything"

Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow brings
May bring you sunshine, and may bring you diamond rings
But if you lose your man, it won't bring you anything

So DuPree took a pistol, and he robbed that jewelry store, yeah
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-well, DuPree in a taxi take me to Baltimore
DuPree in a taxi take me to Baltimore
And when he got to Betty's the sheriff was a-waitin at the door
You could hear him singin'

Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow brings
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond rings
But if you lose your man, it won't bring you anything

Now DuPree's in the death house callin' out Betty's name
Oh, DuPree's in the death house callin' out Betty's name
The guard said, "DuPree, this note from your baby just came"

I came to see you, but they wouldn't let me see your face
(Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow, ooh)
Came to see you, but they wouldn't let me see your face
(Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow, ooh)
I love you DuPree, ain't no one gonna take your place

Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow-
Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down, Betty, see what tomorrow-
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond rings
But if you lose your man, it won't bring you anything
