Milliner’s Daughter

I fell in love with the milliner’s daughter

The first time I saw her there

Sunday best, linen dress, mama’s pearl earrings

And laughter that hung in the air

She moved like the willows and danced like the spring

I’d never seen something so sweet

And oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow

Oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The rain it will follow, the flowers will grow

She painted the world in a new set of colors

All lit up in firefly light

Dancing shoes, summer blooms, lost in the moment

Her kiss just like sweet muscadine

Her love it came gentle, a magnolia breeze

I’d never known something so sweet

And oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow

Oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The rain it will follow, the flowers will grow

I ran away with the milliner’s daughter

Her father said we couldn’t wed

Took her hand, took a stand, took to the north road

The harvest moon high overhead

It might not come easy, but life will be sweet

As long as she’s here next to me

And oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow

Oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The rain it will follow, the flowers will grow

Oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow

Oh oh oh, wherever she goes

The rain it will follow, the flowers will grow
