Elma Turl is a beautiful girl, and I’d
love to have her for my
wife,
She’s just the kind of woman who could make me
happy for the rest of my
life
But my
daddy said, “Son, there’s something you don’t know, and it’s
something I think you
oughter
Elma Turl is a
beautiful girl; but
son, she’s my
daughter.”
Alice Green is a beautiful thing, and
I’d love to have her for my
wife,
She’s just the kind of woman who could make me
happy for the rest of my
life
My daddy said, “Son, there’s something you don’t know, and it’s
something I
think you
oughter
Alice Green is a
beautiful thing; but
son, she’s my
daughter.”
Well, I’ve
been all around the whole durn county, like a
buck huntin’ for a
doe,
But it
seems every girl I’d like to marry is a
wild oat Daddy
sowed
So I
went to my mama with my head hung down, and she
asked me what the matter could be,
I
told her my problem and she
took my hand and said,
”Son, now listen to
me.”
“You see,
your daddy was such a good-lookin’ young man, and like an
eager
young stallion
horse
His
blood ran hot, so you can’t blame him for lettin’
Mother Nature take her
course
But you
got no reason to be upset; don’t you
worry, don’t fret, don’t
bother
You see,
your daddy ain’t your daddy, he only
thinks he is; so you can
marry whoever you
wanter.
