The Farmer’s Daughter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tonight there'll be candlelight and roses In this little country chapel that's almost falling down There'll be tears in this old farmer's eyes this evening When I give my one possession to that city boy from town [Verse 2] His hair is a little longer than we're 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 [Verse 3] Mama left eight years ago December And it was hard to be a dad and mama too But somehow we made home of this old farmhouse And love was all my baby ever knew [Verse 4] He could be the richest man in seven counties And not be good enough to take her hand But he says he really loves the farmer's daughter And I know the farmer's daughter loves the man
