Tonight there'll be candlelight and roses 
                                                    A7 
In this little country chapel that's almost falling down 
            D                 G                  D 
There'll be tears in this old farmer's eyes this evening 
       E                              A             A7 
When I give my one possession to that city boy from town 
    D                G                 D 
His hair is a little longer than we're use to 
                                             G 
But, I guess I should find something good to say 
                                      D 
About this man whose won the farmer's daughter 
         A7                        D 
And will soon become my son-in-law today

Mama left eight years ago December 
           A7                        D 
And it was hard to be a Dad and Mama too 
         G                            D 
But, somehow we made home of this old farmhouse 
    E                         A   A7 
And love was all my baby ever knew 
 
 
D               G                    D 
He could be the richest man in seven counties 
                                   G 
And not be good enough to take her hand 
                                         D 
But he says he really loves the farmer's daughter 
      A7                                   D 
And I know the farmer's daughter loves the man
