Take her to the river, call her a river-child
Take her to the forest, call her a little wild
Sell her to the gypsy for a jar of metal coins
Take her to the mountain and thrust yourself into her loinsCalico, Calico, Calico
Her lips are white as snowShe moved to the mountains with a box all chiseled sharp
She moved to the highlands with a box of books all dark
I knew her in the city she and I would dance the night
Drink the wine of dripping berries toss the moon and count the lightsCalico, Calico, Calico
Her skin is soft as snow
Enjoy the lyrics !!!
