Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I stood under you bedroom window throwing up a brick
No one came, I threw one more, that really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head, he said, what kind of man
Is this that's hangin' 'round my girl? Threw me in the can
[Verse 2]
You're a farmer's daughter, you're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get the kinda girl I didn't oughta get?
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter
[Verse 3]
Imagine I was a full grown man and I could talk just right
Could I come and see you here and do this every night?
Wham, the door comes crashing down, your daddy's face all pale
Says, come with me, you hairy bum, I'll put you in my jail
[Verse 4]
You're a judge's daughter, you're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get the kinda girl I didn't oughta get?
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cause I made the judge's daughter, yes I did, it was nice
[Verse 5]
It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter
[Verse 6]
Woman, I should like some peace and Daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright when I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies, you say I'm dumb and scraggy
But, man, this dumb and scraggy is your daughter's baby's daddy
[Verse 7]
She's a lucky daughter, such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get the kinda girl I didn't wanna get?
Now I've got what I've always fought for
'Cause I've married a rich man's daughter
[Verse 8]
What do you think of that?
