please please help if you can

[Pennie]

I know that these are probably not the correct lyrics, but It was about 15
years ago when I heard this song, and I have been trying to find it for the
longest time. It sounds like it might be sung by
arlo Guthrie, but that may not be the case here, the song goes something
like this

El Matearl was a beautiful girl
I'd love to have her for my wife,
She's just the kind of woman who could make you happy for the rest of your
life,
but my father said son there's somethin' you don't know
and somthin' I think you otta,
El Matearl is a beautiful girl but son she's my daughter

If anyone knows ANYTHING about this song, please please help me out here...

Thanks,
Pennie

Elma Turl, by Mike Cross

Elma Turl is a beautiful girl,
and I would 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 dad said "Son there's something you don't know
and it's something I think you oughta
"Elma Turl is a beautiful girl, but son, she's my daughter".

Alice Green is a pretty little thing
and I would 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 dad said "Son there's something you don't know
and it's something I think that you oughta
"Alice Green is a pretty little thing, but son,
she's my daughter".

Well I been all around this great big county
like a buck hunting for a doe
But it seems every girl I'd like to marry
is a wild oat daddy sowed
So I went to my mom with my head hung down
and she asked me what the matter could be
I told her my problems and she took my hand
and said "Son now listen to me

"When your father was young he was a good-lookin'
man, and like an eager young stallion horse
"His blood run hot, so you can't blame him
for letting 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's not your daddy though he
thinks he is
"So you can marry whoever you wanna."
