The Farmer’s Daughter

[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
