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 every kind a gal, every 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 I'd 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.
