I drove a herd of cattle down from old Nebraska way

That's how I come to be in the state of Iowa
3 6 -5* 6 -5* 6 7 6 -5* -5 6 -5 5 -3
I met a gal in Iowa, her eyes were big and blue
-3 -6 6 -6 -6* 7 -5 6 7 -6 6 -5 5
I asked her what her name was, she said, Sioux City
Sue
Chorus

Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue
-3* -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -5
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
3 5 5 5 -5 6 5 -3 3*
I'd swap my horse and dog for you
3 -3 5 6 -5 6 -5 -3
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue
6 -6 6 -6 -6* 7
There ain't no gal as true
-5 6 7 -6 6 -5 5
As my sweet Sioux City Sue

I asked her if she had a beau, she said, "Yes quite a few"
But still I started courtin' my sweet Sioux City Sue
The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealing two
I asked her did she love me, She said, "Indeed I do"
(Chorus)
I'm admitting Iowa, 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 old lasso
I'm gonna put my brand on my sweet Sioux City Sue
(Chorus 2X)
