The Brown-Skin Gal (In The Calico Gown)

Lyrics 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-skinned gal in the calico gown A puzzle for a pal, a jackknife for a song A quarter for a gallon of 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 pony 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-skinned 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-skinned gal in the calico gown A puzzle for a pal, a jackknife for a song A quarter for a gallon of blue sarong But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless For a kiss from the gal 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 pony for a cart to take her out to dine A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine Then a sky blue bonnet with a pink ribbon on it For the brown-skinned 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-skinned gal in the calico gown A puzzle for a pal, a jackknife for a song A quarter for a gallon of 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 pony for a cart to take out to dine A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine A sky blue bonnet with a pink ribbon on it A penny for the moon, a quarter for a tune And I know it, yes, I know it It's the brown-skinned gal with the calico gown
