Betty & Dupree |
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings |
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings |
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond rings |
But if you lose your man it won’t bring you anything |
Well Betty told DuPree, «Buy me a diamond ring», yeah |
Betty told DuPree, «Buy me a diamond ring» |
And DuPree told Betty, «Buy you most anything» |
So DuPree took a pistol and he robbed that jewelry store, yeah |
I said DuPree took a 38, he robbed that jewelry store |
You know he killed two policemen he left them a-lying on the floor |
Well DuPree in a taxi «Take me to Baltimore» |
DuPree in a taxi «Take me to Baltimore» |
And when he got to Betty’s the sheriff was a-waitin at the door |
You could hear him singin'… |
Now DuPree’s in the death house callin' out Betty’s name |
Oh, DuPree’s in the death house callin' out Betty’s name |
The guard said «DuPree this note from your baby just came.» |
«I came to see you but they wouldn’t let me see your face» |
«came to see you but they wouldn’t let me see your face» |
«I love you DuPree, ain’t no one gonna take your place!» |
