The Farmer's Daughter

Rating Comments Author Date
Average song rating Mike Love's rocking lead vocal in "Surfin' USA" is followed by this superb performance from Brian Wilson. This is his first great falsetto vocal, and he sounds so sweet and earnest singing this excellent song, you have to wonder if he is completely innocent to the faint double-entendre in the "...help you plow the fields..." line. I like to think so. A very solid album cut which, to my knowledge, is not included in any of the Beach Boys compilations and makes searching out these early albums a worthwhile venture.

Lyrics

I could come from miles away
Ain't got (ain't got, ain't got)
No place to stay (place to stay, place to stay)
Glad to (glad to, glad to)
Help you plow your fields (help you plow, help you plow)
Farmer's daughter (farmer's daughter, farmer's daughter)

Might be (might be, might be)
Just a couple of days (couple of days, couple of days)
Clean up (clean up, clean up)
Rest and on my way (on my way, on my way)
Thank you (thank you, thank you)
And I'm must obliged (much obliged, much obliged)
Farmer's daughter (farmer's daughter, farmer's daughter)

Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmmmm
Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmmmm

So long (so long, so long)
Better leave your land (leave your land, leave your land)
Many thanks (many thanks, many thanks)
It was mighty grand (mighty grand, mighty grand)
I do (hope to, hope to)
Hope to see you again (see you again see you again)
Farmer's daughter (farmer's daughter, farmer's daughter)

Oh oh
Farmer's daughter (farmer's daughter, farmer's daughter)

Oh oh
Farmer's daughter (farmer's daughter, farmer's daughter)
