Sep 9th 1936 New York


Copper colored gal of mine,
Love you 'cause you're so refined!
Will you always be my clinging vine,
Copper colored gal of mine?

You done somethin' to my heart,
You've upset my apple cart!
Tell me when the honeymoon will chime,
Copper colored gal of mine!

Oh gee,
You're sweet as can be!
You're aces with me,
I mean aces high!
Oh my,
You know why!

Come on honey, name the day,
Weddin' band is on the way!
Life with you will always be divine,
Copper colored gal of mine!
(Swing it on out there baby!)

Oh gee,
You're sweet as can be!
You're aces with me,
I mean aces high!
Oh my,
You know why, yes yes!

Come on honey, name that day,
Weddin' band is on the way!
Life with you will always be divine,
Copper colored gal of mine!
(Look out there, look a-there!
Look at all that good copper goin' to waste!)
