Harry Belafonte - Betty An' Dupree songtekst

Je score:

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
