(Leo Robin/Arthur Schwartz)
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
