Courtin’ In The Rain

[Hook]
Courtin' in the rain, courtin' in the rain
I never knew what courtin' was 'til I courted in the rain

[Verse 1]
Well it was raining awful hard the other day
And I met a pretty little girl comin' down the street
She had a whole lot of packages in her arms
And I asked her if I can help her carry 'em home
And she said "Guess it'd be alright", made me feel so good

[Hook]
Courtin' in the rain, courtin' in the rain
I never knew what courtin' was 'til I courted in the rain

[Verse 2]
Well so I helped her carry her packages on up to the house
And when we got up to the front gate
I said "Honey, how about a date for tonight?"
She said she guessed it'd be alright
Made me feel so good

[Hook]
Courtin' in the rain, courtin' in the rain
I never knew what courtin' was 'til I courted in the rain

[Verse 3]
Well so I took that little old gal down to the picture show
And we saw a mighty good picture
What we saw, the injun
After the show is over, took her back up the front gate
And I said "Honey", well there was a great big yellow moon
Shining down, I looks at her like a dying calf in a hail storm
And I said "Honey, how about a little kiss?"
She said she guessed it'd be alright
Made me fell so good

[Hook]
Courtin' in the rain, courtin' in the rain
I never knew what courtin' was 'til I courted in the rain

[Verse 4]
Well so then I had another date
Took the old little gal the next night
Took her down to the picture show, and after it's over
Took her back up to the same front gate
I said "Honey, how about marryin' me?"
She said "You'll have to see my Pa about that"
That didn't make me feel so good

[Hook]
Courtin' in the rain, courtin' in the rain
I never knew what courtin' was 'til I courted in the rain

[Verse 5]
Well so I get me a whole lot of rocks
And brick bats and things, put 'em in my pocket
I went up to see her Pa
I says "Mister, how about marryin' your daughter?"
And he says "You go right straights"
And no that ain't even what he said
Oh I remember now what he said, he said
"You go right straight ahead, son"
That made me feel so good

[Hook]
Courtin' in the rain, courtin' in the rain
I never knew what courtin' was 'til I courted in the rain
