I drove a herd of cattle down
From old Nebraska way
That's how I come to be in the state of Io-way
I met a girl in Io-way
Her eyes were big and blue
I asked her what her name was
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 girl as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
I'm admitting Io-way
I owe a lot to you
Oh I come from Nebraska
To find Sioux City Sue
I'll rope her and I'll tie her up
I'll use my old lasso
Then I'll put my brand on my sweet 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 girl as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
