The Farmer's Daughter Lyrics - Hag - Merle Haggard

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 use 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 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 

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
