Sioux City Sue Songtext
von Merle Travis

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 girl in I-o-way, her eyes was big and blue
I asked her what her name was, she said "Sioux City Sue"

Sioux City Sue, dee-oh-daloodee
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux City Sue, oh-daloodee
There ain′t no gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue


Now I'm admitting I-o-way 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, dee-oh-daloodee
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I′d swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux City Sue, oh-daloodee-daloodee
There ain't no gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue

Sioux City Sue, oh-daloodee-daloodee
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I′d swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux City Sue, oh-daloodee-dee
There ain't no gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
