Farmer's Daughter (A Tribute To Merle Haggard)

Tonight, there'll be candlelight and roses

In that little country chapel that's almost fallin' down

And 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's a little longer than we're used to

But I guess I should find somethin' good to say

About this man who's won the farmer's daughter

And'll 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 swears he really loves the farmer's daughter

And I know the farmer's daughter loves the man
