Betty & Dupree

Traditional

[Chorus]
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond ring
But if you lose your man it won't bring you anything

[Verse 1]
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]
He said lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond ring
But if you lose your man it won't bring you anything

[Verse 2]
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
(You could hear him singin')

[Verse 3]
(Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow)
Well DuPree in a taxi "Take me to Baltimore"
(Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow)
(Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow)
DuPree in a taxi "Take me to Baltimore"
(Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow)
And when he got to Betty's the sheriff was a-waitin at the door
You could hear him singin'

[Chorus]
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond ring
But if you lose your man it won't bring you anything

[Verse 4]
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."

[Verse 5]
"I came to see you but they wouldn't let me see your face"
(Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow)
"Came to see you but they wouldn't let me see your face"
(Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow)
"I love you DuPree, ain't no one gonna take your place"

[Chorus]
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow brings now
Lie down Betty, see what tomorrow
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond ring
But if you lose your man it won't bring you anything
