《He Wooed Her and Wooed Her》歌词

[00:00:00] He Wooed Her and Wooed Her - Gracie Fields

[00:00:07] He was a lad in his twenties

[00:00:11] She was a girl in her teens

[00:00:14] The time it was when there was spring in the air

[00:00:17] And ev'ryone knows what that means

[00:00:20] Without any doubt he decided

[00:00:23] That she was the one in his life

[00:00:26] So he knelt on his right knee and twisted his left

[00:00:30] And asked her if she'd be his wife

[00:00:33] Oh he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her

[00:00:38] She wouldn't say "yes" there and then

[00:00:41] 'Cause her mother had said she was much too young

[00:00:45] So he wooed her and wooed her again

[00:00:49] He was a lad in his thirties

[00:00:52] She in her twenty-third year

[00:00:55] He still loved the girl

[00:00:57] But she still answered "no"

[00:00:58] So he dropped a strong silent tear

[00:01:02] And when he was passing his forties

[00:01:05] She said "I want you for my own

[00:01:08] Which would break Mother's heart now

[00:01:10] If I were to wed

[00:01:11] And she'd hate to be left all alone "

[00:01:14] So he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her

[00:01:19] She wouldn't say "yes" there and then

[00:01:23] 'Cause her mother had said she was much too young

[00:01:26] So he wooed her and wooed her again

[00:01:30] He was a lad in his sixties

[00:01:34] She was about fifty-three

[00:01:37] And he was still crazy to wed but her ma

[00:01:40] Still warbled "The Isle of Capri "

[00:01:43] And when he had grown to the eighties

[00:01:47] He told her that he'd done his best

[00:01:50] And although he'd been faithful for sixty-nine years

[00:01:54] He was only a man like the rest

[00:01:57] Still he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her

[00:02:03] She wouldn't say "yes" there and then

[00:02:06] 'Cause her mother had said she was much too young

[00:02:09] So he wooed her and wooed her again

[00:02:13] He was a hundred and twenty

[00:02:18] She about hundred and four

[00:02:21] And he had entirely given up hope

[00:02:25] Till her ma went and married once more

[00:02:28] At last the girl said she would wed him

[00:02:32] And though it may sound very weird

[00:02:35] For the poor stork had waited for so many years

[00:02:39] That it flew down the flue with a beard

[00:02:43] Oh he wooed her and wooed her and wooed her

[00:02:48] She didn't say "no" any more

[00:02:52] So he cuddled and kissed and he wooed he did

[00:02:55] As he never had wooed her before
