Dave Van Ronk Betty and Dupree Lyrics

Well Betty told Dupree, she want a diamond ring
Betty told Dupree, she want a diamond ring
Well Dupree says Betty, for you I'd do most anything
Bought him a pistol, it was a .44
Bought him a pistol, it was a .44
To get that diamond ring for Betty, Dupree'd to rob a jewelry store
Police caught Dupree, put him in Atlanta jail
Police caught Dupree, put him in Atlanta jail
Well he sent for his Betty, come and go his bail
Interlude:
s///
Well she came to see him, but his face she could not see
Yes she came to see him, but his face she could not see
Well said to the warden, give him this letter for me
It said I came to see you but I could not see your face
Yes I came to see you but I could not see your face
I just wanna tell you, nobody's gonna take your place
Interlude:
s///
Well Betty told Dupree, she want a diamond ring
Betty told Dupree, she want a diamond ring
Well Dupree says Betty, for you I'd do most anything
