COORTIN' IN THE
Come single belle and beau, to me now pay
And love, I'll plainly show, is the own invention.
For once I fell in love with a damsel most
Miss Henrietta Bell, down in Captain Kelly's

To my toora loora la, my toora laddy
Ri toora loora la, ri toora laddy.
At the age of seventeen, I was 'prenticed to a
Not far from Green, where Miss Bell for tea would go, sir
Her manners so free, she set me heart a-twitchin'
She invited me to tea, down in Captain kitchen.
Next Sunday the day we were to have the flare-up
I dressed myself quite gay, an' I and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife, he had out a-fishin'
So we kicked up life, below-stairs in the kitchen.
Just as the clock struck six we sat to the table
She served me tea and cakes --- I ate I was able,
I ate cakes, punch and tea, till my side had got a stitch in
And the hours flew quick away, coortin' in the kitchen.
With my arms her waist, I kissed ---she hinted marriage
To the door in dreadful haste Captain Kelly's carriage!
Her looks told me full well that she was wishin'
That I'd get out to Hell, or far from the kitchen.
She up off my knees, full seven feet or higher
And over heads and heels, threw me into the fire
My new coat, that I'd bought from Mrs. Stichen
With a thirty-shilling note, went to in the kitchen.
I grieved to see my duds, all besmeared with smoke and
When a tub of dirty suds, in my face she dashes.
As I lay on the floor, still the water she kept
Till the broke the door, and marched into the kitchen.
When the Captain came downstairs, and seen my
In spite of all my prayers I was marched off to the
For me take no bail, tho' to get home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the of how I got in the kitchen.
I said she did invite me, but she a flat denial
For she did indict me, and I was sent for trial.
She swore I the house, in spite of all her screechin'
And I got six hard, for my coortin' in the kitchen.
