Sioux City Sue Lyrics

I drove a herd of cattle down from old Nebraska way
That's how I come to be in the state of I O way
I met a gal in I O way, 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'


Now I admittin' I owe, 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 sweet Sioux City Sue

(Sioux City Sue) Oh Susie, (Sioux City Sue) So choosie
Her hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
(Sioux City Sue) Oh Susie, (Sioux City Sue) Go flossie
There ain't no gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
