Sioux City Sue Revisited

 

Friday night stockyard bars at Sioux City

A blues band down at Rhonda’s Speak Easy

At the Cattlemen’s bartender’s smothering one of 5 customers

Pretty woman drunk and so sad

I think she may be Sioux City Sue

Well my hand is broke from a fight I may have picked

The stockyards have beat me again

The fog from the river is a curtain for an actress

Pretty woman drunk and so sad

I think she may be Sioux City Sue

I listen but the whiskey is waxing my ears

She said nothing is pretty anymore

The manure painted panels have given up their white

Says that pretty woman drunk and so sad

I think she may be Sioux City Sue

I laid down in the snow and in my stock trailer

I locked the keys in my pickup truck

She found a blanket in her car covered me up as she left

Such a pretty woman drunk and so sad

I think she may be Sioux City Sue

Sioux City Sue

Sioux City Sue

Ain’t no girl sweet as my sweet Sioux City Sue
