Sioux City Sue

Zeke Manners, Ray Freedman, Dick Thomas.

I drove a herd of cattle down,
From old Nebraska way.
That’s how I came to be in
The state of I-O-Way.

I met a girl in I-O-Way,
Her eyes were big and blue.
I asked her what her name was,
She said “Sioux - Cit-y 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, courting
My sweet Sioux Cit-y Sue.

The first time that I stole a kiss,
I caught her stealing two,
I asked her “did she love me”
She said “In-deed I do.”

I’m admitting, I-O-Wa,
I owe a lot to you,
’Cause I come from Ne-bras-ka,
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.
