Rebecca Lynn grew up in Carolina Half a mile from Tucker Cherry’s farm A quiet girl with green eyes full of fire Her daddy’s pride and all her mama’s charm
Rebecca Lynn became my heart’s desire Long about the start of second grade Mrs. Rosenbloom let me sit beside her So, we passed notes then after school we played, singin’
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of dreams and posies Patty-cake, a bakers man, tag you’re it, kick the can And I, I think I hear my, my mama calling, gotta go Man, I loved her so
High school days, me and Becky learnin’ What it really means to be in love Give and take, holdin’ back for heaven’s sake Fightin’ for a week, then makin’ up
I said “Please Becky won’t you marry me?” Prom night in my car out by the curb She was so surprised, first she laughed and then she cried And somewhere in my heart I’m sure I heard
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of dream and posies Patty-cake, a baker’s man, tag you’re it, kick the can Mama flashed the porch light for me, gotta go Man, I loved her so
When love is wrong, it dies And that’s the way it goes But when it’s right You know love grows
Laura Jean was born in Tennessee That’s a common little miracle I know But for me and Becky-Lynn, she’s the dream that started When we fell in love so many years ago, singin’
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of dreams and posies Patty-cake, a baker’s man, tag you’re it, kick the can And I think I hear your mama callin’, gotta go Oh man, I love you so
