I drove a herd of cattle down from old New-brasky way
That's how I come to be in the state of Iowa
I met a gal in Iowa 
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 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 courtin' my Sioux City Sue
The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealin' too
I asked her did she love me 
She said "Indeed I do"

Now I'm admittin', Iowa, I owe a lot to you
'Cause I come from New-brasky to find Sioux City Sue
I'm gonna rope and tie her up 
I'll use my old lassoo
I'm gonna put my brand on my sweet Sioux City Sue
