Betty told Dupree, wanted a diamond ring
Betty told Dupree, wanted a diamond ring
Dupree said Betty "Boy I'd do most anything"

Got him a pistol, was a 44
Got him a pistol, was a 44
Get that ring for Betty
Dupree used to rob the town store

Police got Dupree, put him around to jail
Police got Dupree, put him around to jail
Sent for his Betty, come and get his bail

Well she came to him but his
Face she could not see
She came to him but his
Face she could not see
Said to the Warden, give him this love for me

They said I came to see you
But I cannot see your face
I came to see you but I cannot see your face
Just want to tell you
No ones gonna take your place
