I went a-wooin', a-wooin' I went
I went a-wooin' with marriage my intent
He was my true one, for him I was meant
So I went a-wooin', but my true one, he just went!
I went a-courtin', a-courtin' went I
I saw the love light a-glowin' in his eye
Until a redhead with evil intent
Oh, she went a-wooin', and my true one, he just went!
I was, was, was oh so willing (So willing)
I loved, loved, loved, loved him so (She loved him so)
To think some new gal is thrilling (Is thrilling)
To the tickle of his big mustache-o
To the tickle of his big mustache-o)
So next time a-wooin', the next time I woo
You'll see me breakin', a-breakin' hearts in two
I'll be a siren who never relents
'Cause I went a-wooin', and my true one, he just went!
Oh, how I thrilled when I met him
I dropped all my favorite beaux
I tried every trick to get him
To get him to propose

I went a-courtin', a-courtin' went I
I saw the love light a-glowin' in his eye
Until a redhead with evil intent
Oh, she went a-wooin', and my true one, he just went!
Oh, how, how, how could he grieve me?
How deep, deep, deep was my woe
To think, think, think he would leave me
For a gal who only loved him for his dough
For a gal who only loved him for his dough)
So next time a-wooin', the next time I woo
You'll see me breakin', a-breakin' hearts in two
I'll be a siren who never relents
'Cause I went a-wooin' (She went a-wooin')
'Cause I went a-wooin', and my true one, he just went!
