Maids When You're Young

The lines of this song stay the same, except for lines (a) and (b), which are marked. The last line changes in the last verse, and the chorus is repeated after every verse.

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

Of course, Cantaria has the tune.
