Maids When You're Young Never Wed an Old Man |
Well an old man came courting me, hey ding-doorum dow |
An old man came courting me, me being young |
An old man came courting me, fain he would marry me |
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man |
Because he’s got no faloorum, faliddle aye oorum |
He’s got no faloorum, faliddle dal day |
He’s got no faloorum, he’s lost his ding-doorum |
So maids when you’re young never wed an old man |
When we went to church, hey ding-doorum dow |
When we went to church, me being young |
When we went to church, he left me in the lurch |
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man |
When we went to bed, hey ding-doorum dow |
When we went to bed, me being young |
When we went to bed, he lay like he was dead |
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man |
So I threw me leg over him, hey ding-doorum dow |
I flung my leg over him, me being young |
I threw me leg over him, damn well near smullered him |
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man |
When he went to sleep, hey ding-doorum dow |
When he went to sleep, me being young |
When he went to sleep, out of bed I did creep |
Into the arms of a handsome young man |
And I found his faloorum, faliddle aye oorum |
I found his faloorum, faliddle aye ay |
I found his faloorum, he got my ding-doorum |
So maids when you’re young never wed an old man |
