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 girl 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 pigs 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 stealin' two

I asked her did she love me, she said, "Indeed I do"

I'm admittin', 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, play

Your hair is red, your eyes are blue

Swap my pigs and dog for you

Sioux City Sue, play

There ain't no gal as true

As my sweet Sioux City Sue

Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue

Your hair is red, your eyes are blue

Swap my pigs, my dog for you

Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue

There ain't no gal as true

As my sweet Sioux City Sue
