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)
