Dupree was a bandit; he was so brave and bol';He stoled a diamond ring for some of Betty's jelly rollBetty told Dupree, I want a diamond ring.Betty told Dupree, I want a diamond ring.Dupree told Betty, I'll give you most anything.He said, Lie down, little Betty, see what tomorrow brings,He said, Lie down, little Betty, see what tomorrow brings,It may bring sunshine, may bring you that diamond ring.Michigan water taste like cherry wine,The reason I know: Betty drink it all the time.I'm going away to the end of the railroad trackNothing but sweet Betty can bring me backThen he got his pistol, went to the jewelry store,Then he got his pistol, went to the jewelry store,Killed a policeman and he wounded four or five more.Then he went to the post office to get the evening mailThen he went to the post office to get the evening mail Sheriff caught poor Dupree and put him in that old Atlanta jail.Dupree tol' the lawyer, Clear me if you canFor I have money to back me, sure as I'm a manThe lawyer tol' Dupree, You are a very brave manBut I think you will go to jail and hangDupree tol' the judge, I am not so brave and bol'But all I wanted was Betty's jelly rollThe judge tol' Dupree, Jelly roll's gonna be your ruinNo, no, judge, for that is what I done quit doingThe judge tol' Dupree, I believe you quit too lateBecause it is already your fateDupree's mother said to Betty, Looka' here what you done done.Dupree's mother said to Betty, Looka' here what you done done.Made my boy rob and steal, now he is gonna be hungBetty went to the jailhouse, she could not see Dupree Betty went to the jailhouse, she could not see Dupree She told the jailer, Tell him these words for me.I come to see you, baby, I could not see your face.I come to see you, baby, I could not see your face.You know I love you, but I cannot take your place.Sail on, sail on, sail on, Dupree, sail on.Sail on, sail on, sail on, Dupree, sail on.You don't mind sailing, you'll be gone so doggone long.
