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 Iowa

I met a gal in Iowa, 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

Your hair is red, your eyes are blue

I'd swap my horse and dog for you

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 laso

I'm gonna put my brand on, my sweet 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

There ain't no gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
