Betty and Dupree had a love affair
But Betty don’t believe that Dupree care
Dupree said, I love, baby, that’s the truth
Betty say, you got to show me some proof
Betty say she want a diamond ring
And fifteen pearls on a golden chain
Give me a ruby that’ll shine like the moon
Bring‘em here, baby, and bring’em here soon
She said, Go down, Dupree, go down
Go down, Dupree, go down
Dupree went home and got his forty four
He walked on down to the jewelry store
And he said to the man, I ain’t here to play
Give me your jewels before I blow you away
The man said, Alright, but don’t you do me no harm
Dupree never seen him hit the burglar alarm
He walked out of the store straight into the cops
Well, he never had a chance so he just give up
And it’s go down, Dupree, go down
Go down, Dupree, go down
Betty saw Dupree in the federal slam
He said, You’re the reason I’m where I am
And it’s ten long years ‘fore they let me out
Betty said, Don’t cry, it’s the thought that counts
She said, Go down, Dupree, go down
Go down, Dupree, go down
Go down, Dupree, go down
Go down, Dupree, go down
