Met a gal in cal - i - co down in Santa Fe; Used to be her Sunday beau 'til I rode away. Do I want her? Do I want her love? Yes sirree. Will I win her? Will I win her love? Wait and see. Workin' with the ro - de - o, go from town to town, See most ev'ry kinda gal, ev'ry kind of gown; But who made my heart sing yipee yi, yipee yo? My little gal in cal - i - co. I'll take my gal in cal - i - co down in Danta Fe Guess I better let her know that I feel this way. Is she wait - in'? Is she waitin'? She'd better be! I ho - pin' to be ropin' her? Yes sirree! Gonna quit the ro - de - o, gonna settle down, Buy a bolt of cal - i - co for a wedding gown. And will I fence her in? Yipee yi, yipee yo! My little gal in cal - i - co, little gal in cal - i - co.
