Songtexte The Brown-Skin Gal (in the Calico Gown) - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra
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

A

A

But

For
