《The Brown Skin Gal》歌词

[00:00:00] The Brown Skin Gal - Duke Ellington (埃林·顿公爵)

[00:00:02] Written by：Ellington

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

[00:00:13] A quarter for a tune like the old mill stream

[00:00:18] But I'd give a dollar and my heart to feller 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

[00:00:37] But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless

[00:00:41] For a kiss from the miss in the calico gown

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

[00:00:52] Robin' hood's for me if my love's worth a nickel

[00:00:59] It's worth a peso mine for the giving

[00:01:04] Hers for the say so

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

[00:01:10] A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine

[00:01:15] Then a sky blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it

[00:01:19] For the brown skin gal in the calico gown
