Calico, Calico, Platte and Calico
They fell in love in Platte and Calico
Platte and Calico, Platte and Calico
They fell in love in Platte and Calico
Like the good old-fashioned days of long ago
It all began at a country dance affair
All the neighborhood was there, there was laughter everywhere
A lonesome cowboy came up on the scene
And met a gal in Calico, the answer to a dream
They danced all night in Platte and Calico
Platte and Calico, Platte and Calico
They danced all night in Platte and Calico
While the fiddles played the music country style
It wasn't long till the two were altar-bound
And the four were all in the same room
The folks were 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
They said, I do, in Platte and Calico
Platte and Calico, Platte and Calico
They said, I do, in Platte and Calico
And they vowed they'd never ever be untrue
They said, I do, in Platte and Calico
Now bet your boots they're as happy as can be
With a 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
For all the kids wear Platte and Calico
Platte and Calico, Platte and Calico
Yes, all the kids wear Platte and Calico
Platte and Calico, Platte and 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 Platte and Calico
