歌词
Betty told Dupree
I wants me a diamond ring oh baby
Betty told Dupree
I wants me a diamond ring oh sugar
Now listen mama
Your daddy bring you most anything
He had to kill a policeman
And he wound a detective too oh sugar
Killed a detective
Wounded a policeman too oh babe
See here mama what you caused me to do
Hired him a taxi
Said can't you drive me back
To main say taxi
Then he hired him a taxi
Said carry me back to main oh baby
I've done a hanging crime yet
I don't never feel ashamed
Standing there wondering
Will a matchbox hold my clothes oh baby
Standing there wondering
Matchbox hold my clothes
Said a trunk was too big
To be bothered on the road
Rested poor Dupree
Placed him in the jail oh Lord
Rested poor Dupree
Placed him in the jail oh babe
He had the mean old judge went
And refuse to sign him any bail
Wrote a letter to Betty
And this is the way the letter read oh baby
He wrote a letter to Betty
And this is the way the letter read oh Lord
Come home to your daddy I'm almost dead
Betty went to the Jailer crying
Mister Jailer please oh baby
Betty went to the Jailer crying
Jailer please oh Lord
Please Mister Jailer
Let me see my used-to-be
