The Brown Skin Gal (In The Calico Gown) - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

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 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
