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 the rodeo

Rode from town to town

Seen most every kinda gal

Every kind of gown

But who makes my heart sing

Yipee yi, yipee yo -

My little gal in calico



I'll take my gal in calico

Down in Santa Fe

Guess I better let her know

That I feel this way

Is she waitin' (is she waitin')

Aw, she'd 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 wedding gown

And will I fence her in

Yip yipee yi, yip yipee yo ---

My little gal in calico



Little gal in calico

My little gal in calico

Yipee yi, yipee yo -------
