The Farmers Daughter - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE FARMERS DAUGHTER. 
I once did know a farmer, a good and faithful soul, Who used to work upon his farm around his cottage home; He had an only daughter, and to win her I did try, And When I asked him for her hand, this was his reply: 
Chorus. Treat my daughter kindly, and say you'll do no harm, And When I die I will leave to you my little stock and farm; My house, my home, my sheep, my plough, horses, stock and barn, And all those little chickens in the garden. 
Now I own I love that young girl, and dearly she loved me, I used to go round her home her smiling face to see; To watch and milk her father's cows, while she was watching me, And many a drink of milk I got before I left the burn.-Chorus. 
Now the old man has consented, and married we will be; We will own that little farm ourselves, And live in harmony; And try to keep the promise that the old man asked of me: Was to use her as his only child, And treat her kindly. -Chorus.
