The Brown-Skin Gal (In the Calico Gown) Duke Ellington

The Brown-Skin Gal (In the Calico Gown) - Duke Ellington
[Verse 1]
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
For the brown-skin gal in the calico gown

[Verse 2]
A puzzle for a pal, a jackknife for a song
A garter for the gal in the blue sarong
But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless
For a kiss from the miss in the calico gown

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
A pony for a car to take her out to dine
A scissor cuts a heart on a valеntine
Then a sky-blue bonnеt with pink ribbons on it
For the brown-skin gal in the calico gown

[Instrumental Break]
