Sioux City Sue ============== m: Dick Thomas, 1945 w: Ray Freedman, 1945 [Verse 1] I drove a herd of cattle out from old Nebraska way; That's how I come to be in the state of I-o-way. I met a gal in Iowa; her eyes were big and blue. I asked her what her name was: She said, "Sioux City Sue." [Chorus] 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. [Verse 2] 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!" [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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! [Chorus]
