An old man came courting me, hey ding dorum down
An old man came courting me, me being young
An old man came courting me, said he would marry me
Maids, When You're Young, Never Wed An Old Man
Chorus
For he's got no falorum, fi diddle I orum
He's got no falorum, fi diddle I ay
He's got no falorum, he's lost his ding dorum
Maids, When You're Young, Never Wed An Old Man
Chorus
And when we went to church, hey ding dorum down
And when we went to church, me being young
And when we went to church, he left me in the lurch
Maids, When You're Young, Never Wed An Old Man
Chorus
And when we went to bed, hey ding dorum down
And when we went to bed, me being young
And when we went to bed, he lay there as if dead
Maids, When You're Young, Never Wed An Old Man
Chorus
She threw her leg over me, hey ding dorum down
She threw her leg over me, me being young
She threw her leg over me damn nearly smothered me
Maids, When You're Young, Never Wed An Old Man
Chorus
And when we went to sleep, hey ding dorum down
And when we went to sleep, me being young
And when we went to sleep, out of bed I did creep
Into the arms of a lusty young man
For he's got falorum, fi diddle I orum
He's got falorum, fi diddle I ay
He's got falorum, he's found my ding dorum
