Never Wed an Old Man

An old man came courting me

Hey do a dority

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

For he's got no faloodorum, fadidledo doorum

For he's got no faloodoorum, fadidleday

He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum

So maids when you're young, never wed an old man

Now when we went to the church, hey do a dority

When we went to the church, me being young

When we went to the church, he left me in the lurch

Maids when you're young, never wed an old man

Now when we went to our bed, hey do a dority

Now when we went to our bed, me being young

When we went to our bed, he neither done nor said

Maids when you're young never wed an old man

Now when he went to sleep, hey do a dority

Now when we went to sleep, me being young

When we went to sleep, out of bed I did creep

Into the arms of a handsome young man

And I found his falodoorum, fa didle dodoorum

I found his faloodoorum, fa didle all day

I found his falodoorum and he got my dingdoorum

So maids when you're young never wed an old man
