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 townHis 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 todayMama 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 knewHe 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
