An old man came courting me<br>
Hey do a dority<br>
An old man came courting me<br>
Me being young<br>
An old man came courting me<br>
All for to marry me<br>
Maids when you're young never wed an old man<br>
Chorus<br>
For he's got no faloodorum, fadidledo doorum<br>
For he's got no faloodoorum, fadidleday<br>
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum<br>
So maids when you're young, never wed an old man<br>
Now when we went to the church, hey do a dority<br>
When we went to the church, me being young<br>
When we went to the church, he left me in the lurch<br>
Maids when you're young, never wed an old man<br>
Chorus...<br>
Now when we went to our bed, hey do a dority<br>
Now when we went to our bed, me being young<br>
When we went to our bed, he neither done nor said<br>
Maids when you're young never wed an old man<br>
Chorus...<br>
Now when he went to sleep, hey do a dority<br>
Now when we went to sleep, me being young<br>
When we went to sleep, out of bed I did creep<br>
Into the arms of a handsome young man<br>
And I found his falodoorum, fa didle dodoorum<br>
I found his faloodoorum, fa didle all day<br>
I found his falodoorum and he got my dingdoorum<br>
so maids when you're young never wed an old man<br>

nameless young woman.<br>
She threw her leg over him, hey do a dority<br>
She threw her leg over him, her being young<br>
She threw her leg over him, damn nearly smothered him.<br>
Maids when you're young, never wed an old man.<br>
