Merle Haggard - Farmer's Daughter lyrics

rate me

(Merle Haggard)

Tonight there'll be candle light and roses

In this little country chapel that's almost fallen down

There'll be tears in these old farmer's eyes this evening

When I give my one possession to that city boy from town.

His hair is a little longer than we used to

But I guess I should find something good to say

About this man who's won the farmer's daughter

And will soon become my son in law today.

Mama left eight years ago December

And it was hard to be a dad and 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 seven countys

And not be good enough to take her hand

But he says he really loved the farmer's daughter

And I know the farmer's daughter loved the man...
