Sioux City Sue

(album: Ferlin's Favorites - 1960)

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

Oh, Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue
Your hair is red your eyes are blue
I'll swap my horse and dog for you
Oh, Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue
Well, 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
I came from Nebraska and stole Sioux City Sue
But I'm a-gonna rope and tie her up with my ol' lasso
I'm a-gonna put my brand on my sweet Sioux City Sue

Oh, Sioux City Sue
Your hair is red your eyes are blue
I'll swap my horse and dog for you
Oh, Sioux City Sue
Well, there ain't no gal as true
As my sweet Sioux City Sue
