Bing Crosby - Sioux City Sue

I drove a herd of cattle out
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 and 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 ball, she said, "Yes, quite a few"
But still I started callin' her my sweet Sioux City Sue
The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealing too
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 admittin' Iwoa, I owe a lot to you
'Cause I come from the Brasket to find Sioux City Sue
I'm gonna rope and tie her up, I'll use my ol' lasso
I'm fixing to put my brand on my sweet Sioux City Sue

Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue (oh Sussy, sweet Sussy)
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue (oh Sussy, Oh flussy)
There ain't no gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
