Перевод песни

Песня: Brown-skin Gal (in the Calico Gown)
She's a camp-town tune at a barbecue
An old fashioned courtesy
And a how do ya' do
A tintype from somebody's locket
The wind and the stars and the earth
But in practical terms of the pocket
Here's how I measure her worth

A penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream
A quarter for a tune like the "Old Mill Stream"
But I'd give a dollar and my heart to foller to
The brown-skin gal in the calico gown

A puzzler for a pal
A jack-knife for a song, a garter for a gal
In a blue sarong
But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless
For a kiss from the miss in the calico gown

Haven't much use for worldly goods
Robin Hood's for me; if my love's worth a nickel
It's worth a peso mine for the giving
Hers for the "say so"

A penny for a cart to take her out to dine
A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine
Then a sky-blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it
For the brown-skin gal in the calico gown

A penny for the moon, a nickel for a dream
A quarter for a tune like the "Old Mill Stream"
But I'd give a dollar and my heart to foller to
The brown-skin gal in the calico gown

A puzzler for a pal
A jack-knife for a song, a garter for a gal
In a blue sarong
But I'd give a necklace because I'm reckless
For a kiss from the miss in the calico gown

Haven't much use for worldly goods
Robin Hood's for me; if my love's worth a nickel
It's worth a peso mine for the giving
Hers for the "say so"

A penny for a cart to take her out to dine
A scissor cuts a heart on a valentine
Then a sky-blue bonnet with pink ribbons on it
For the brown-skin gal in the calico gown

Перевод песни:
Темнокожая девушка (в ситцевом платье)

Она песенка в палаточном лагере за барбекю,
И старомодная учтивость,
И "как поживаете",
Тинтайп 1 из чьего-то медальона,
Ветер, звёзды и земля,
Но в сугубо практической плоскости.
Вот как я определяю её ценность.
