Subject: RE: ADD: When You Comin' to Court Me? / Buffalo Boy
My friend Beastie Dovey introduced this song to me about three years ago and we sing it together from time to time, but she is somewhat shy about appearing on the internet, so won't allow me to upload a version on YouTube which is a shame as when we do it along with the other members of our group The Cronk Illiam Scratchers, with the other members adding comedic devices it is always received very well.

When you comin' to see me, to see me, to see me,
When you comin' to see me, - Buffalo Boy?

I reckon I'll see you next week, next week, next week,
I reckon I'll see you next week, - if'n the weather be good!

How long do you think you'll court me, court me, court me,
How long do you think you'll court me, - Buffalo Boy?

I reckon I'll court you all night, all night, all night,
I reckon I'll court you all night, - if'n the weather be good!

And when do you think we'll marry.......
I reckon we'll marry next week......

How'll you get to the wedding.....
I reckon I'll come by ox cart......

Why don't you come in the buggy.....
(Laughing) The ox won't fit in the buggy, the buggy, the buggy,
The ox won't fit in the buddy, - not even if the weather be good!

Who'll you bring to the wedding.....
(Aside)I reckon I'll have to ponder that one for a while
I know, I reckon I'll bring my children.......

I didn't know you had any children.....
Why yes, I've got 5 children, 5 children, 5 children,
Yes I've got 5 children. - 6 if'n the weather be good!

(Sung together)
There ain't gonna be no wedding, no wedding, no wedding
There ain't gonna be no wedding, - not even if the weather be good!
