Johnny Horton - Plaid and Calico lyrics

They fell in love in plaid & calico – plaid & calico – plaid & calico They fell in love in plaid & calico Like the good old fashioned days of long ago It all began at a country dance affair All the neighbourhood was there There was laughter ev’rywhere A lonesome cowboy came upon the scene And met a gal in calico, the answer two or three (They danced all night in plaid & calico – plaid & calico – plaid & calico They danced all night in plaid & calico) While the fiddles played the music country style It wasn’t long till the two were altar bound And the folks for miles around, all proceeded into town And while the organ played a wedding tune The cowboy and his sweetheart were the blushing bride and groom -Solo- They said, I do, in plaid & calico – plaid & calico – plaid & calico They said, I do, in plaid & calico And they vowed, they’d never ever be untrue Now bet, your fools there as happy as can be With the great big fam’ly tee Just to keep them company And when you see them coming into town It looks as though a rainbow had just tumbled to the ground For all the kids wear plaid & calico – plaid & calico – plaid & calico Yes, all the kids wear plaid & calico Like the good old fashioned days of long ago (They fell in love – they danced all night They said, I do – all dressed in plaid & calico)
