Lyrics
"Candy Cane"
I was sitting by the seaside, bathing my feet in lowtide
when I saw the girl with the red & white stripped dress on
she came to me said hi, did not know that I was shy
just that I was sitting there alone
Well it ain't Christmas in Montana
it ain't snowing out on the plains
I just know I fell in love with the red & white stripped dress
on the girl they called candy cane
Well cheek to cheek, eye to eye, then it came to my surprise
she puckered up said boy won't you bring it on
I took a deep deep breath, then proceeded to bow my head
& thank the good lord up above
Well it ain't Christmas in Montana
it ain't snowing out on the plains
I just know I fell in love with the red & white stripped dress
on the girl they called candy cane
Well it's been about twenty year, we've laughed the laughs
& cried the tears, but the best it sure ain't gone
you know that red & white dress, it ain't retired yet
it's laying in the floor where it belongs
Well it ain't Christmas in Montana
it ain't snowing out on the plains
I just know I fell in love with the red & white stripped dress
on the girl they called candy cane
I just know I fell in love with the red & white stripped dress
on the girl the call candy cane
