《The Brown-skin Girl(In The Calico Gown)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Brown-skin Girl(In The Calico Gown) - Duke Ellington (埃林·顿公爵)

[00:00:09] A penny for the moon a nickel for a dream

[00:00:14] A quarter for a tune like the Old Mill Stream

[00:00:19] But I'd give a dollar and my heart to foller to

[00:00:23] The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown

[00:00:28] A puzzler for a pal

[00:00:30] A jack-knife for a song a garter for a gal

[00:00:35] In a blue sarong

[00:00:38] But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless

[00:00:42] For a kiss from the miss in the Calico Gown

[00:00:47] Haven't much use for worldly goods

[00:00:53] Robin Hood's for me; if my love's worth a nickel

[00:01:00] It's worth a Peso mine for the giving;

[00:01:05] Hers for the say so

[00:01:06] A penny for a cart to take her out to dine

[00:01:11] A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine

[00:01:16] Then a sky-blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it

[00:01:20] For The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown

[00:02:58] For The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown
