My Girl with the Calico Dress.

A fig for your upper-ten girls,

With their velvets, and satins, and laces,

Their diamonds, and rubies, and pearls,

And their milliner figures and faces!

They may shine at a party or ball,

Emblazon’d with half they possess,

But give me in place of them all,

My girl with the calico dress.

She is plump as a partridge, and fair
