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
