Farmer’s Daughter (A Tribute To Merle Haggard) Lyrics

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
