Now all is fair in love and war at least that's what you say   But if it's true I'm telling you I'm declaring war today   I love her and I'll fight for her it that's how it must be   Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me      In this old world there's lots of girls enough to go around   Before you'll take her love from me I'll be six feet under ground   It's true that she once cared for you but she's made her choice you see   Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me      Now I'm not trying to be brave you could be a better man   But I got true love on my side so come and get her if you can   You had your chance to win her love now she's private property   Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me   Come and get her if you want her but first you go through me
