You had a black suit born in the cottonfield
I had a white dress born in the cottonfield
(You had a black suit born in the cottonfield)
Our favorite game was born in the cottonfield
(I had a white dress born in the cottonfield)
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 cottonfield
I had a white dress born in the cottonfield
(You had a black suit born in the cottonfield)
Our favorite game was born in the cottonfield
(I had a white dress born in the cottonfield)
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 cottonfield
I had a white dress born in the cottonfield
(You had a black suit born in the cottonfield)
Our favorite game was born in the cottonfield
(I had a white dress born in the cottonfield)
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 cottonfield
I had a white dress born in the cottonfield
(You had a black suit born in the cottonfield)
You knelt down on one knee in the cottonfield
(I had a white dress born in the cottonfield)
You had a black suit born in the cottonfield
I had a white dress born in the cottonfield
(You had a black suit born in the cottonfield)
We said our vows both standing in the cottonfield
(We said our vows both standing in the cottonfield)
