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 and I will wait
Her eyes will begain blue
I asked her what her
name was and she said
Sioux City Sue
Your hair is red your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you oh
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
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
Sioux City Sue
There ain't no gal as true as
my sweet 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 gal as true as
my sweet Sioux City Sue
