Song Lyrics

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.
