《Brown (Second Movement Of Black， Brown And Beige)》歌词

所属专辑: 歌手: Duke Ellington 时长: 11:49

[00:11:49] She's a camptown tune at a barbecue,

[00:11:49] An old fashioned curt'sy

[00:11:49] And a how dee ya' do,

[00:11:49] A tintype from somebody's locket

[00:11:49] The wind and the stars and the earth

[00:11:49] But in practical terms of the pocket,

[00:11:49] Here's how I measure her worth

[00:11:49] A penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream,

[00:11:49] A quarter for a tune like the "Old Mill Stream"

[00:11:49] But I'd give a dollar and my heart to foller to

[00:11:49] The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.

[00:11:49] A puzzler for a pal

[00:11:49] A jack-knife for a song, a garter for a gal

[00:11:49] In a blue sarong:

[00:11:49] But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless

[00:11:49] For a kiss from the miss in the Calico Gown.

[00:11:49] Havent much use for worldly goods

[00:11:49] Robin Hood's for me; if my love's worth a nickel,

[00:11:49] It's worth a Peso mine for the giving;

[00:11:49] Hers for the "say so"

[00:11:49] A penny for a cart to take her out to dine;

[00:11:49] A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine;

[00:11:49] Then a sky-blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it

[00:11:49] For The Brown-Skin Gal In The Calico Gown.
