In the fields you saw a flower like no other
She was bright, quick-witted and a friend
So you picked her, brought her home
and showed your family what you found
Oh, so proud of this flower in your hand

You turned that west coast golden poppy
into a southern woman
From those cotton fields you found the mother of your child

Here she comes
Baby girl
It’s you and us against the world
There they are
Our baby girls
When their old enough
We’ll teach them how to love,
Love like we do
Love like we do

Little did he know it was you who picked him
For he was strong and calm, and a friend
And when he came into you family suddenly the games were even
Oh, so proud of the one who won your heart

Cause you gave all your lovin’ to a Southern gentleman
Who will lead you in the Lord
And who’s the father of your child

Here she comes
baby girl
It’s you and us against the world
There they are
Our baby girls
When their old enough
We’ll teach them how to love,
Love like we do
Love like we do

When there’s storms in the night
I’ll hold you till morning light
In that old rocking chair
Grandma’s sweet lullabies

When there’s storms in the night
I’ll hold you till morning light
In that old rocking chair
Grandma’s sweet lullabies

Here she comes
Baby girl
It’s you and us against the world
There they are
Our baby girls
When their old enough
We’ll teach them how to love
Pray they find the love that comes down from above
And love like
Love like we do
Love like we do
Love like we do
Love like we do
