G               A7
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue,
     D7
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
    G       C         G       D7
I'd swap my horse and dog for you.
G               A7
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue
      Am              D7
There ain't no gal as true
                       G
As my sweet Sioux City Sue.

[Verse 1]
  G                                A7
I drove a herd of cattle down from old Nebraska way
       D7                                   G
That's how I come to be in the state of I-o-way
                             A7
I met a girl in I-o-way; her eyes were big and blue
  D7                                               G
I asked her what her name was. She said Sioux City Sue

[Chorus]
G               A7
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue,
     D7
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
    G       C         G       D7
I'd swap my horse and dog for you.
G               A7
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue
      Am              D7
There ain't no gal as true
                       G
As my sweet Sioux City Sue.

[Verse 2]
   G                                A7
I asked her if she had a beau, she said, "yes, quite a few"
 D7                           G
Still I started courtin' my Sweet Sioux City Sue
                                         A7
The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealing two
    D7                                           G
I asked her did she love me, she said "indeed I do"

[Chorus]
G               A7
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue,
     D7
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue
    G       C         G       D7
I'd swap my horse and dog for you.
G               A7
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue
      Am              D7
There ain't no gal as true
                       G
As my sweet Sioux City Sue.

[Outro]
      Am              D7
There ain't no gal as true
                       G
As my sweet Sioux City Sue.
