You had a black suit born in the cotton field
I had a white dress born in the cotton field
Our favourite game was born in the cotton field

Oh oh oh

We were five when you moved in next door
And became my best friend
Found a chest upstairs in the attic
With dress up clothes therein
Much too big

You had a black suit born in the cotton field
I had a white dress born in the cotton field
Our favourite game was born in the cotton field

Oh oh oh

Standing in the field all dressed up
To play wedding day
Every time you would try to kiss me
And I would run away
That's all we played

You had a black suit born in the cotton field
I had a white dress born in the cotton field
Our favourite game was born in the cotton field

Oh oh oh

All those years I never knew
That I would fall in love with you
Practicing for the day
The day it wasn't just a game

You had a black suit born in the cotton field
I had a white dress born in the cotton field
You knelt down on one knee in the cotton field

Oh oh oh

You had a black suit born in the cotton field
I had a white dress born in the cotton field
We said our vows both standing in the cotton field

Oh oh oh
