Johnny Horton - Plaid and Calico lyrics

rate me

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)
