Maid when you're young -
Never Wed an Old Man
[Agna's Lament]
An old man came courting me (hey ding dorum da)
An old man came courting me (me being young!!)
An old man came courting me
Fain would he marry me
Maid when you're young never wed an old man !!!
'Cos he's got no falorum, Fi-diddle-i-dorum
He's got no falorum-fi -diddle -i da...
He's got no falorum - he's lost his tingtorum
Maid when you're young never wed an old man !!!
When we went to Church (rpt 3x etc) He left me in the lurch
Maid when you're young never wed an old man !!!
Chor
When we went to bed (rpt 3x etc)
He lay as though he were dead
Maid when you're young never wed an old man !!!
Chor
I threw me leg over him (rpt 3x etc)
Damn nearly smothered him
Maid when you're young never wed an old man !!!
When he went to sleep (rpt 3x etc)
Out of bed I did creep
Into the arms of a a much younger man
I found his falorum, Fi-diddle-i-dorum
I found his falorum-fi -diddle -i da...
I found his falorum - hefound my tingtorum
Maid when you're young never wed an old man !!!
