_ _ [C] Elma Turrell is a beautiful girl and I'd [F] love to have her for my wife. _
She's just the kind of a woman who could make [D] me happy for the [G] rest of my life.
_ [C] My daddy said, son, there's something you don't know and it's something I think you ought to.
_ _ [F] Elma Turrell [C] is a beautiful girl, but [G] son, she's my daughter. _

_ _ _ Alice Green is a beautiful [F] thing and I'd love to have her [C] for my wife. _
She's just the kind of a woman who could make [D] me happy for the rest of my life.
But [C] my daddy said, son, there's something you don't know and [F] it's something I think you [C] ought to.
_ _ Alice Green [C] is a beautiful [G] thing, but son, [D] she's [C] my daughter.

_ _ Well, I've been all around the whole darn county like [F] a buck hunting for a doe.
But it seems every girl I'd like to marry is a [D] wild old [G] daddy, so.
[C] So I went to my mama with my head hung [F] down and she asked me what the matter [C] could be.
_ [F] I told her my problem [C] and she took my hand and said, [G] son, now listen to me.

_ _ _ You see, your daddy was such a good looking young man [F] and like an eager young [C] stallion horse.
_ His blood ran hot so you can't blame him for [D] letting mother nature take [G] her course.
But you've [C] got no reason to be upset, [F] don't you worry, don't [C] fret, don't bother.
You see, your [F] daddy ain't your daddy though [C] he thinks he is, so [G] you can marry whoever [C] you want [Em] her.
