This was one of my favorites growing up. I don't have the tape/CD
but, I believe Merle wrote it. Email changes to dan.lewis@mci.com.
Farmer's Daughter
Intro: DGDAD
Tonight there'll be candlelight and roses
In this little country chapel that's almost falling down
There'll be tears in this old [G}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
Ending same as intro.
