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 I O Way, her eyes were big and blue I asked her what her name was and 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 gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue
I asked her if she had a beau, she said, "Yes quite a few" But still I started callin' her my sweet Sioux City Sue The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealing too I asked her did she love me,and she said, "Indeed I do"
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
Now I'm admittin' 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 ol' lassoo I'm gonna 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 gal as true as my sweet Sioux City Sue.
