ellington duke - The Brown Skin Gal In The Calico Gown слова песни
She`s a camptown tune at a barbecue,an old fashioned curt`syAnd a how dee ya` do,a tintype from somebody`s locketThe wind and the stars and the earthBut in practical terms of the pocket,Here`s how I measure her worthA 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 foller toThe Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.A puzzler for a palA jack-knife for a song, a garter for a galin a blue sarong:But I`d give a necklace because I`m recklessfor a kiss from the miss in the Calico Gown.Havent much use for worldly goodsRobin 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 itfor 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 foller toThe Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.A puzzler for a palA jack-knife for a song, a garter for a galin a blue sarong:But I`d give a necklace because I`m recklessfor a kiss from the miss in the Calico Gown.Havent much use for worldly goodsRobin 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 itfor The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.
