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, wherever she goes
The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow
And oh, wherever she goes
The rain it will follow, the flowers will grow

She painted the world in a new set of colours
All lit up in firefly light
Dancin’ 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, wherever she goes
The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow
And 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, wherever she goes
The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow
And oh, wherever she goes
The rain it will follow, the flowers will grow

And oh, wherever she goes
The wind it will follow, the rivers will flow
And oh, wherever she goes
The rain it will follow, the flowers will grow
