Courting Too Slow - Bellowhead[00:00:00]
Written by:trad./John Spiers/Jon Boden[00:00:01]
It was on one monday morning[00:00:09]
And oh and it[00:00:14]
Was soon[00:00:16]
I bought my pretty betty[00:00:18]
A pair of new shoes[00:00:22]
A pair of new shoes and slippers[00:00:28]
Also[00:00:34]
But I lost my pretty betty[00:00:38]
By courting too slow[00:00:43]
I lost my pretty betty[00:00:50]
By courting too slow[00:00:54]
I bought my pretty betty[00:01:01]
A garland of green[00:01:06]
And ribbons that you wear[00:01:10]
So fair to be seen[00:01:15]
And rings for her fingers all made[00:01:20]
Of glitt'ring gold[00:01:26]
But I lost my pretty betty[00:01:31]
By not being bold[00:01:36]
I lost my pretty betty[00:01:42]
By not being bold[00:01:47]
It was on one Tuesday evening[00:02:40]
And oh and it was late[00:02:45]
I fain would have kissed her but I was too straight[00:02:49]
I was thinking how to gain her consent to be true[00:02:59]
But I lost my pretty betty[00:03:10]
By courting too slow[00:03:15]
I lost my pretty betty[00:03:21]
By courting too slow[00:03:26]
For in there come a sailor[00:03:30]
All in his tarry shoes[00:03:36]
He went into chalen chamber[00:03:40]
Where my true love was[00:03:44]
He kissed her and he[00:03:50]
Flattered her he flattered her so[00:03:53]
He fair won the day[00:04:01]
By my courting too slow[00:04:06]
He fair won the day[00:04:12]
By my courting too slow[00:04:17]
So come all you bold fellows[00:05:10]
And pray take my advice[00:05:15]
And when you go a courting[00:05:19]
Now don't you be too nice[00:05:24]
But you kiss all them pretty girls and you let[00:05:29]
Them for to know[00:05:35]
That you don't mean to lose them[00:05:41]
By courting too slow[00:05:45]
That you don't mean to lose them[00:05:52]
By courting too slow[00:05:58]
