Brown-Skin Gal (In the Galico Gown)

歌詞

She's a camp town tune at a barbecue An old fashioned curt'sy and a how dee ya' do A tintype from somebody's locket The wind and the stars and the earth But in practical terms of the pocket Here's how I measure her worth A penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream A quarter for a tune like the 'Old Mill Stream' But I'd give a dollar and my heart to follow to The brown-skin gal in the calico gown A puzzler for a pal, a jack-knife for a song A garter for a gal in a blue sarong But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless For a kiss from the miss in the calico gown Haven't much use for worldly goods Robin Hood's for me, if my love's worth a nickel It's worth a Peso mine for the giving Hers for the say so A penny for a cart to take her out to dine A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine Then a sky-blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it For the brown-skin gal in the calico gown A penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream A quarter for a tune like the 'Old Mill Stream' But I'd give a dollar and my heart to follow to The brown-skin gal in the calico gown A puzzler for a pal, a jack-knife for a song A garter for a gal in a blue sarong But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless For a kiss from the miss in the calico gown Haven't much use for worldly goods Robin Hood's for me, if my love's worth a nickel It's worth a Peso mine for the giving Hers for the say so A penny for a cart to take her out to dine A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine Then a sky-blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it For the brown-skin gal in the calico gown
