Testo Betty Dupree Peter Paul And Mary
Chorus:
Lie down betty, see what tomorrow brings
Lie down betty, see what tomorrow brings
May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond rings,
But if you lose your man it wonât bring you anything.
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)
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.
Well dupree in a taxi "take me to baltimore"
Dupree in a taxi "take me to baltimore"
And when he got to bettyâs the sheriff was a-waitin at the door.
You could hear him singinâ... (chorus)
Now dupreeâs in the death house callinâ out bettyâs name
Oh, dupreeâs in the death house callinâ out bettyâs name
The guard said "dupree this note from your baby just came."
"i came to see you but they wouldnât let me see your face"
"came to see you but they wouldnât let me see your face"
"i love you dupree, ainât no one gonna take your place!"
(chorus)
