Am
[Verse]
Am
Take her to the river
C Am/C Am
Call her a river child
Am
Take her to the forest
C Am/C Am
Call her a little wild
Am
Send her to the gypsy
C Am/C Am
Forge her of metal coins
Am
Take her to the mountain
C Am/C Am
And thrust yourself into her loins
[Chorus]
C Am/C Am
Ca - li - co
C Am/C Am
Ca - li - co
C Am/C Am
Ca - li - co
C Am/C Am
For her lips are as white as snow
[Verse]
Am
She moved to the mountains
C Am/C Am
With a box of chiseled sharp
Am
She moved to the highlands
C Am/C Am
With a box of books so dark
Am
I knew her in the city
C Am/C Am
She and I would dance the night
Am
Drink the wine of dripping berries
C Am/C Am
Toast the moon and count the lights
[Chorus]
C Am/C Am
Ca - li - co
C Am/C Am
Ca - li - co
C Am/C Am
Ca - li - co
C Am/C Am
For her skin is as soft as snow
[Verse]
Am
Take her to the river
C Am/C Am
Call her a river child
Am
Take her to the forest
C Am/C Am
Call her a little wild
