TAH-DA-TA-DAH! Who was that masked man?

SIOUX CITY SUE
Recorded by Gene Autry –
Written by R. Freedman and R. Thomas

I drove a herd of cattle down from old New-brasky way
That's how I come to be in the state of Io-way.
I met a gal in Iowa. Her eyes were big and blue.
I asked her what her name was. She said: "Sioux City Sue."

REFRAIN: Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue,
Your hair is red. your eyes are blue.
I'd swap horse and dog for you.
Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue,
There ain't no gal as true
As my sweet Sioux City Sue.

I asked her if she had a beau. She said: "Yes quite a few."
But till I started courtin' my Sioux City Sue
The first time that I stole a kiss, I caught her stealin' too.
I asked her did she love me? She said: "Indeed I do."

Now I'm admittin', Iowa, I owe a lot to you,
'Cause I come from New-brasky to find Sioux City Sue.
I'm gonna rope and tie her up. I'll use my old lassoo.
I'm gonna put my brand on my sweet Sioux City Sue.

Here's Gene Autry's version, but old Gene wouldn't have done the other verse.
