Sioux-City Sue

I heard the end of this song on the radio today. Apparently these lyrics sounded cute in 1945. There were 4 different recordings of it simultaneously in the top 5!
Now I'm admittin', Iowa, I owe a lot to you.
'Cause I come from New-brasky to find Sioux City Sue.
I'm gonna rope and tie her up. I'll use my old lassoo.
I'm gonna put my brand on my sweet Sioux City Sue.

Times change. They sound like stalking now (or BDSM) - and branding your sweetheart?
