Chorus:
|
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"
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
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'... (Chorus)
|
|
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!"
|
|
(Chorus)
