An old man came courting me, hey ding dooram day |
|
An old man came courting me, me being young |
|
An old man came courting me, all for to marry me |
|
Maids, when you're young never wed an old man |
|
(chorus:) |
|
Because he's got no faloorum, fadidle eye-oorum |
|
He's got no faloorum, fadidle all day |
|
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum |
|
Oh Maids When You're Young, Never Wed An Old Man |
|
When we went to church, hey ding dooram day |
|
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 |
|
(chorus) |
|
When we went to bed, hey ding doorum day |
|
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 |
|
(chorus) |
|
When he went to sleep, hey ding doorum day |
|
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, fadidle eye-oorum |
|
I found his faloorum, fadidle all day |
|
I found his faloorum, he got my ding doorum |
|
So maids when you're young never wed an old man |
