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 watin'?)   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
