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
D Tonight there'll be G candlelight and D roses
In this little country chapel that's almost falling A7 down
There'll be D tears in this old [G}farmer's eyes this D evening
When I E give my one possession to that A city boy from town
His D hair is a little G longer than we're D use to
But, I guess I should find something good to G say
About this man whose won the farmer's D daughter
And will A7 soon become my son-in-law D today
G Mama left eight years ago D December
And it was A7 hard to be a Dad and Mama D too
But, some G how we made home of this old D farmhouse
And E love was all my baby ever A knew
* D He could be the G richest man in seven D counties
And not be good enough to take her G hand
But, he says he really loves the farmer's D daughter
And I A7 know the farmer's daughter loves the D man
Ending same as intro.
