The Farmer's Daughter

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

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

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 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
