calico - the brookses lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: jim]
i knew this town would never hold you
i knew i was a fool to try
i did my best to make you happy
but all you did was cry
i bought you all those pretty dresses
flower prints and satin bow
i wish that they were chinese silk
but they were only calico

[refrain: jim, jim & meg]
pretty calico
pretty calico
i beg you, darling, please don’t go

[verse 2: jim]
i took you out to all the dances
and i took you to the fair
that’s all the glances
heard the whispers, felt the stares
how did he win such a beauty?
how did he claim such a prize?
how will he ever keep hеr?
i can see it in their eyes

[refrain: jim, jim & meg]
prеtty calico
pretty calico
i beg you, darling, please don’t go
[verse 3: jim]
soon, you wandered from our home
away for hours at a time
and it made me sick with worry
and put trouble on my mind
you’d say you had been out walking
but you won’t say where you been
people in the town ‘to talking
and they say that it’s a sin

[refrain: jim, jim & meg]
pretty calico
pretty calico
i beg you, darling, please don’t go

[instrumental break]

[verse 4: jim]
you disappeared one moonlit night
we searched for you day after day
some folks say you found a lover
who had stolen you a*way
but i know you’re mine forever
and our secret’s safe, i know
i kept your dresses as a memory
of my pretty calico
[refrain: jim, jim & meg]
pretty calico
pretty calico

[outro: jim]
my darling, how i loved you so
