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.
*spoken
