betty an' dupree
Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand  Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand  Went for the jewelry but he shot that jewelry man  Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring  Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring   Just to please you pretty Betty I've done done a wicked thing  Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee  Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee  I'm sorry pretty Betty but that sheriff is a haunting me  They caught poor Dupree and put him into the jail  Caught poor Dupree put him in the jail   Atlanta prison is where Betty took Dupree his mail  Dupree said judge I ain't been here before  Dupree said judge I ain't been here before  Judge told Dupree I'm gonna see that you don't come back no more  They took him to the scaffold a black cap upon his face  Took him to the scaffold a black cap upon his face   Now the cold cold ground is for Dupree's resting place  Betty went to the graveyard singing near oh my god to thee  Betty went to the graveyard singing near oh my God to thee  Oh mister hangman look what you done done to Dupree  She told the hack-driver to drive his wagon slow  Told the hack-driver drive your dead wagon slow   When you bury my Dupree I ain't gonna see him no more  Sail on Dupree sail on, sail on Dupree sail on  Don't mind you sailing but you be gone so long  So long Dupree poor boy so long, Dupree poor boy  Don't mind you sailing you'll be gone so long, sail on  Dupree poor boy
