May bring you sunshine, may bring you diamond rings
           A                E7                 A
But if you lose your man it won't bring you anything

A                                          A

Yeah, Betty told Dupree, "Buy me a diamond ring"
    E7                                       A
And Dupree told Betty, "Ill get you most anything"

A
So Dupree took a pistol and he robbed that jewelry store
      D7                                              A

    E7                                                       A
You know he killed two policemen he left them a-lying on the floor

A
Well Dupree got in a taxi "Take me to Baltimore"
D7                                         A
Dupree caught a taxi said "Take me to Baltimore"
    E7                                                    A
And when he got to Betty's the sheriff was waiting at the door.

But if you lose your man it won't bring you anything

A 
Now Dupree's in the death house calling out Betty's name
    D7                                              A

The guard said "Dupree this note from your baby just came."

A
"I came to see you but they wouldn't let me see your face"
   D7                                                 A
"I came to see you but they wouldn't let me see your face"
            E7                                       A
"Although I love you Dupree, I just cant take your place!"
