Betty An' Dupree - Harry Belafonte[00:00:00]

Gather 'round people let me tell you 'bout Dupree[00:00:19]

Gather 'round people let me tell you 'bout Dupree[00:00:27]

And his woman back in 1903[00:00:34]

Betty was her name said she wanted a diamond ring[00:00:41]

Betty was her name said she wanted a diamond ring[00:00:49]

Dupree told Betty you can have most anything[00:00:56]

Just lay down pretty Betty see what tomorrow brings[00:01:03]

Said lay down pretty Betty see what tomorrow brings[00:01:10]

May bring sunshine it may bring your diamond ring[00:01:18]

Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand[00:01:25]

Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand[00:01:33]

Went for the jewelry but he shot that jewelry man[00:01:40]

Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring[00:01:47]

Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring[00:01:55]

Just to please you pretty Betty[00:02:02]

I've done done a wicked thing[00:02:04]

Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee[00:02:09]

Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee[00:02:17]

I'm sorry pretty Betty[00:02:24]

But that sheriff is a haunting me[00:02:25]

They caught poor Dupree and put him into the jail[00:02:31]

Caught poor Dupree put him in the jail[00:02:39]

Atlanta prison is where Betty took Dupree his mail[00:02:46]

Dupree said judge I ain't been here before[00:02:53]

Dupree said judge I ain't been here before[00:03:01]

Judge told Dupree I'm gonna see[00:03:08]

That you don't come back no more[00:03:10]

They took him to the scaffold[00:03:15]

A black cap upon his face[00:03:17]

Took him to the scaffold a black cap upon his face[00:03:23]

Now the cold cold ground is[00:03:30]

For Dupree's resting place[00:03:32]

Betty went to the graveyard singing near[00:03:37]

Oh my god to thee[00:03:40]

Betty went to the graveyard singing near[00:03:44]

Oh my God to thee[00:03:47]

Oh mister hangman look what you done done to Dupree[00:03:52]

She told the hack-driver to drive his wagon slow[00:03:59]

Told the hack-driver drive your dead wagon slow[00:04:07]

When you bury my Dupree I ain't gonna see him no more[00:04:14]

Sail on Dupree sail on sail on Dupree sail on[00:04:21]

Don't mind you sailing but you be gone so long[00:04:36]

So long Dupree poor boy so long Dupree poor boy[00:04:44]

Don't mind you sailing you'll be gone so long sail on[00:04:58]

Dupree poor boy[00:05:09]
