Courting Song by Rich Mullins
[Verse 1]
D D/G D/A D
Well, her face looked pretty in the candlelight
Bm A D D/G D/F#
And, the boy he thought that it was only right
Em A D
To ask that girl to be his wife
G A
If they could be wed
D D/G D/A D
Well, his ma, she could not understand
Bm A D D/G D/F#
How the boy she'd loved had now become a man
Em A D
But, his daddy knew that he could remember when
G A
So, he called the boy and he said...
[Chorus]
G A D
Tell me what you gonna do when the well runs dry?
G A D
What you gonna do when her babies cry?
G A
What you gonna do when the lightning strikes?
D G A D
He said, I'll turn right around and I'll love her
[Verse 2]
D D/G D/A D
Well, his ma, she said "Well, if you love her true
Bm A D D/G D/F#
Talk to the preacher; let him counsel you
Em A D
'Cause that girl's just forward enough to
G A
Betray you with a kiss!
D D/G D/A D
Well, the good brother quietly smiled
Bm A D D/G D/F#
He said, "I've known you now for such a while
Em A D
And, not long ago, well you were just a child
G A
Are you ready for this?"
[Chorus]
G A D
Tell me what you gonna do when the well runs dry?
G A D
What you gonna do when her babies cry?
G A
What you gonna do when the lightning strikes?
D G A D
He said, I'll turn right around and I'll love her
[Verse 3]
