Betty and Dupree

Traditional

[Verse 1]
Betty told Dupree, "Buy me a diamond ring"
Betty told Dupree, "Buy me a diamond ring"
Well, Dupree said, "Betty, I'll buy you anything"

[Verse 2]
Hear him singing
"Stand down, Betty, see what your crying will bring
Stand down, Betty, see what your crying will bring
You know it might bring you love, might bring that diamond ring"

[Verse 3]
Dupree got a pistol, robbed a jewellery store
Dupree got a pistol, robbed a jewellery store
He had to kill one cop, wound a half a dozen more

[Verse 4]
Dupree's gonna travel down that railroad track
Dupree's gonna travel down that lonesome track
And no one but Betty will ever bring him back

[Verse 5]
He's still singing
"Stand down, Betty, see what your crying will bring
Hey girl, stand down, Betty, see what your crying will bring
You know it might bring you love, might bring that diamond ring"

You know your crying might bring love or a diamond ring
