时长: 11:49
She's a camptown tune at a barbecue,[00:11:49]
An old fashioned curt'sy[00:11:49]
And a how dee ya' do,[00:11:49]
A tintype from somebody's locket[00:11:49]
The wind and the stars and the earth[00:11:49]
But in practical terms of the pocket,[00:11:49]
Here's how I measure her worth[00:11:49]
A penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream,[00:11:49]
A quarter for a tune like the "Old Mill Stream"[00:11:49]
But I'd give a dollar and my heart to foller to[00:11:49]
The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.[00:11:49]
A puzzler for a pal[00:11:49]
A jack-knife for a song, a garter for a gal[00:11:49]
In a blue sarong:[00:11:49]
But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless[00:11:49]
For a kiss from the miss in the Calico Gown.[00:11:49]
Havent much use for worldly goods[00:11:49]
Robin Hood's for me; if my love's worth a nickel,[00:11:49]
It's worth a Peso mine for the giving;[00:11:49]
Hers for the "say so"[00:11:49]
A penny for a cart to take her out to dine;[00:11:49]
A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine;[00:11:49]
Then a sky-blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it[00:11:49]
For The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.[00:11:49]
A penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream,[00:11:49]
A quarter for a tune like the "Old Mill Stream"[00:11:49]
But I'd give a dollar and my heart to foller to[00:11:49]
The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.[00:11:49]
A puzzler for a pal[00:11:49]
A jack-knife for a song, a garter for a gal[00:11:49]
In a blue sarong:[00:11:49]
But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless[00:11:49]
For a kiss from the miss in the Calico Gown.[00:11:49]
Havent much use for worldly goods[00:11:49]
Robin Hood's for me; if my love's worth a nickel,[00:11:49]
It's worth a Peso mine for the giving;[00:11:49]
