I drove a herd of cattle down from old Nebraska way
That's how I come to be in the state of Ioway
I met a little gal in Ioway, her eyes were big and blue
I asked her what her name was, she said "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
There ain't no girl so true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
♪
I asked her if she had a beau, she said "Yeah, quite a few"
Then I started courting my sweet Sioux City Sue
The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealing two
I asked her if she loved me, she said "Indeed I do"
Sioux City Sue
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
