Lyrics The Farmer's Daughters - Merle Haggard

The Farmer's Daughter

Tonight there'll be candlelight & roses
In this little country chapel
That's almost fallin' down
There'll be tears in this old farmer's eyes this evening
When I give my one possesion to that city boy from town
His hair's a little longer than we're used to
But I guess I should find something good to say
About this man whose won the farmer's daughter
And will soon become my son-in-law today

Mama left 8 years ago December
And it was hard to be a dad & mama too
But somehow we made a home of this old farmhouse
And love was all my baby ever knew
(He could be the richest man in 7 counties)
And not be good enough to take her hand
But he swears he really loves the farmer's daughter
And I know the farmer's daughter loves the man
