Met a gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;

Used to be her Sunday beau til I rode away.

Do I want her, do I want her love?

Yes siree!

Will I win her, Will I win her love?

Wait and see!

Workin?with a rodeo, go from town to town.

See most evry kind a gal, evry kind a gown.

But who made my heart sing

Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!

My little gal in calico.



Take my gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;

Guess Id better let her know that I feel this way.

Is she waitin? is she waitin?

She better be.

Am I hopin?to be ropin?her?

Yes siree!

Gonna quit the rodeo, gonna settle down,

Buy a bolt of calico for a weddin?gown.

Then will I fence her in

Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!

My little gal in calico.
