The Farmer's Daughters - Merle Haggard

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
