  • 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. Roosenbloom let me sit beside her
    So we'd pass notes and after school we'd play

    [Chorus]
    Singing ring around the rosie
    Pocket full of dreams and posies
    Patty cake and baker's man
    Tag your it, kick the can

    And I think I hear my mama calling
    Gotta go
    Man I loved her so

    High school days with me and Becky learning what it really means to be in love
    Give and take, holding back for Heaven's sake
    And fighting for a week and making 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

    [Chorus]

    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, your love grows

    Laura Jean was born in Tennessee
    Now 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

    [Chorus]

    And I think I hear your mama calling
    Gotta go
    Oh man I loved you so Writer/s: DONALD EWING II, DONALD SAMPSON

  • Karen from Manchester, NhThis song is lyrically perfect. It touches me absolutely every time I hear it. It is also one of the very, very few times my husband has told me that I "have" to hear a song, after he heard it for the first time!
