The Girl with a Calico Dress
591.6

A fig for your upper-ten girls.
With their velvets and satins and laces.
Their diamonds and rubles and pearls.
And their milliner figures and faces.
They may chine at a party or ball
Embellished with half they ровеелк,
But give me in piace e of them ali
The girl with a calico dress,

The girl with a calten dress, hi oh:
The girl with a calleo drese, hi on
Ere long we shall see
Whose wife she will be.
The girl with a calico dresя,

She’s plump as a partridge and fair
As the rose at its earliest blooming:
Her teeth with the ivory compare
And her breath with the sweetest perfume.
Her step is as free and as Ught
As the fawn by the hunters hard pressed.
And her eve la as soft and bright.
The girl with a calico dress.

Your dandles and foppings may sneer
At her simple and modest attire,
But the charms she permits to appear
Would set She the whole icebergs on tre.
Can dance, but she never allows
The hugging. the squeeze, and cariss:
She’s saying there all for her spouse
My girl with a calico dress.

She’s patient and loving and true.
Is kind to her father and mother:
Her hands ever ready to do
For sweet little sister and brother.
If you want a companion for life.
To comfort, enitven, and bless.
Bhe’ll make the right sort of a wife
The girl with a calico dress.
