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)
