I've met a lot of girls that's true Who could thrill me through and through From the rollin' hills of Texas To the city of the Sioux But there is one I left behind That I'm goin' home to find And I know that she'll be waitin' 'Cause she's always on my mind In a calico apron and a gingham gown Every night I can see her, when the sun goes down Is she thinkin' about me, when I'm not around In a calico apron and a gingham gown If there's an old church bell Within a country mile You'll hear it tell the world We're walkin' down the aisle I was stakin' a claim there In the old hometown For a calico apron And a gingham gown ♪ In a calico apron and a gingham gown Every night I can see her, when the sun goes down Is she thinkin' about me, when I'm not around In a calico apron and a gingham gown If there's an old church bell Within a country mile You'll hear it tell the world We're walkin' down the aisle I was stakin' a claim there In the old hometown For a calico apron And a gingham gown
