Betty And Dupree(Album Version)

歌詞

Betty told Dupree, she wanted a diamond ring Betty told Dupree, she wanted a diamond ring He says, yes oh yes my love l'Il get you most anything Then he got himself a pistol, and it was a forty four Then he got himself a pistol, and it was a forty four Well you know to get that diamond ring he had to rob a jewellery store He caught a passenger and beat his way to Chicago You know Dupree caught a passenger and beat his way into Chicago Don't you know little better, she hung her head and cried, said I won't see Dupree no more But the police they caught him, carried him back to Atlanta jail But the police they caught him, carried him back to Atlanta jail Who did they send for but little Betty, saying please come and go my bail She went to the jailhouse, his face she could not see She went to the jailhouse, his face she could not see Where she said please Mr Jailer, won't you give him this note for me This is how it read: I was there to see you but I could not see your face I was there to see you but I could not see your face Well Although you know I love you, but I just can't take your place
