Blues - Ben Webster (班-威伯斯特)/Woody Herman

Gather 'round folks

If you want to hear about dupree

Gather 'round folks

If you want to hear about dupree

I'm telling you just like it was told to me

Betty told dupree she wanted a diamong ring

Betty told dupree she wanted a diamong ring

And dupree said 'Betty I'll give you most any old thing '

Now he didn't want Betty to know

He didn't have a thing nothin'

Now he didn't want Betty to know

He didn't have a thing nothin

He'd kill that jewelry man

To get Betty that diamond ring

He got in a taxi went to memphis tenosee

He got in a taxi went to memphis tenosee

When he got there big memphis was waiting for dupree

Now duprees gone so far away

He's never gonna see the light of day
