Maids When You're Young
Ver1: An old man came courting me, hey-ding-a doo-rum
An old man came courting me, me being young
An old man came courting me, all for his wife to be
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
Ch: For he's got no fal-doo-rum-dah fal-diddle oo-doo
He's got no fal-doo-rum-dah fal-diddle-day
He's got no fal-doo-rum-dah, lost his ding doo-re-um
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
Ver2: When this old man comes to bed, hey-ding-a doo-rum
When this old man comes to bed, me being young
When this old man comes to bed, he lays like he was dead
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
Chorus:
Ver3: When this old man goes to sleep, hey-ding-a doo-rum
When this old man goes to sleep, me being young
When this old man goes to sleep, out of bed I do creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man
Chorus:
Ver4: I wish this old man would die, hey-ding-a doo-rum
I wish this old man would die, me being young
I wish this old man would die, I'd make the money fly
Girls, for your sake, never wed an old man
Chorus:
Ver5: A young man is my delight, hey-ding-a doo-rum
A young man is my delight, me being young
A young man is my delight, he'll kiss you day and night
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
