lyrics

Beautiful girl, new to this world
Your mama’s good-looking she’s been cooking you since May or June
And now you’ve come to steal my heart just like the dish ran away with the spoon
Beautiful girl, soft like a pearl
Laying there happy in your nappy like a lump of dough
Your mamas gonna feed you when you need to you just let us know
Beautiful girl, princes and earls
I know they’re going to come to court I’ll build a fort to keep their fingers off you!
But like your Grand daddy knew you’re gonna do just what you’re going to do
Well it’s as fickle as fashion, there’ll be bright lights flashing
As you crash into your darkest night
This old world’s going blind, but if you know your own mind
I know you’re going to be all right
Beautiful girl, it’s a dangerous world
And it’s suffering its huffing and puffing and its going to blow
But with a heart like Magellan there’s no tellin’ where you just might go
And your dad is going to be here if you need him, just so you know
Yes you daddy’s going to be here, if you need me, just say so.
