[Intro]
Calico, calico, plaid and calico

[Chorus]
They fell in love in plaid and calico, plaid and calico, plaid and calico
They fell in love in plaid and calico
Like the good old fashioned days of long ago

[Verse 1]
It all began at a country dance affair
All the neighborhood was there
There was laughter everywhere
A lonesome cowboy came upon the scene
And met a gal in calico, the answer two or three

[Chorus]
They danced all night in plaid and calico, plaid and calico, plaid and calico
They danced all night in plaid and calico
While the fiddles played the music country style

[Verse 2]
It wasn't long 'til the two were altar bound
And the folks for miles around all proceeded into town
And while the organ played the wedding tune
The cowboy and his sweetheart were the blushing bride and groom
[Chorus]
They said, I do, in plaid calico, plaid and calico, plaid and calico
They said, I do, in plaid and calico
And they vowed, they'd never ever be untrue

[Verse 3]
Now bet your boots they're as happy as can be
With the great big family tree
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

[Chorus]
For all their kids wear plaid and calico, plaid and calico, plaid and calico
Yes, all their 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
