Wop she 'ad it-io Sung by Bob, Ron and John Copper on the Song for Every Season LP.
Now once I courted a pretty girl I courted her quite well,
Her name was Kitty-mariga Maria and mine was Bobby Wells,
One night when I was courting Kit when her father was at home,
He said, If I catch you here again I'll tickle your bot-tum.
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io.Now Kit and I we did agree a ladder for to bring,
We placed it under the window and by gum, it was just the thing.
We laughed and chattered and chattered and talked when all at once, by gum,
My foot slipped through the ladder and I fell and cut my bot-tum.
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io.They wheeled me home in a wheelbarrow they wheeled me home with care,
And when I got to the farmyard gate, oh, didn't the old folks stare.
My brother Jim came running out and said what have you done,
I've been a-courting Kit, said I, and fell and cut my bot-tum.
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io.They took me to the doctor's and there I showed my case
And didn't they do a grin when I showed 'em my Sunday face.
They thought I was making a fool of them, but a fool of them, by gum,
I thought they were making a fool of me when they turpentined my bum.
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io.Now Kit and I we did agree for to get wed,
She made me a sling to put my bum in and through it I cocked my leg.
As we were walking down the street the kids did shout, by gum,
There goes the man with his bum in a sling that fell and cut his bot-tum.
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io.
Words and music are in both The Copper Family Song Book and Bob Copper's book, A Song for Every Season.
