CTonight there'll be Fcandlelight and Croses
In this little country chapel that's almost falling G7down
There'll be Ctears in this old Ffarmer's eyes this Cevening
When I D7give my one possession to that G7city boy from town
His Chair is a little Flonger than we're Cuse to
But I guess I should find something good to Fsay
About this man whose won the farmer's Cdaughter
And will G7soon become my son-in-law Ctoday
FMomma left eight years ago CDecember
And it was G7hard to be a dad and momma Ctoo
But Fsomehow we made home of this old Cfarmhouse
And D7love was all my baby ever G7knew
CHe could be the Frichest man in seven Ccounties
And not be good enough to take her Fhand
But he says he really loves the farmer's Cdaughter 
And I G7know the farmer's daughter loves the Cman

C F C

Tonight there'll be candlelight and roses

In this little country chapel that's almost falling down

C F C

There'll be tears in this old farmer's eyes this evening

D7 G7

When I give my one possession to that city boy from town

C F C

His hair is a little longer than we're use to

But I guess I should find something good to say

About this man whose won the farmer's daughter

G7 C

And will soon become my son-in-law today

F C

Momma left eight years ago December

G7 C

And it was hard to be a dad and momma too

F C

But somehow we made home of this old farmhouse

D7 G7

And love was all my baby ever knew

C F C

He could be the richest man in seven counties

And not be good enough to take her hand

But he says he really loves the farmer's daughter

G7 C

And I know the farmer's daughter loves the man
