Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Never Wed an Old Man
MAIDS WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG NEVER WED AN OLD MAN
An old man came courting her
Hey ding a dorum dum
An old man came courting
her she being young
An old man came courting her
All for to marry her
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
For he's got no faloodorum, fadidle di dorum
For he's got no faloodoorum, fadidle day
He's got no faloorum,
he's lost his ding dorum
So maids when you're young,
never wed an old man
Now when they went to the church
Hey ding a dorum dum
When they went to the church,
she being young
When they went to the church,
he left her in the lurch
Maids when you're young, never wed an old man
Now when they went to our bed,
Hey ding a dorum dum
Now when they went to our bed,
she being young
When they went to our bed,
he neither done nor said
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
She slung her leg over him
Hey ding a dorum dum
She slung her leg over him
she being young
She slung her leg over him
damn nearly smothered him
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
Now when he went to sleep
Hey ding a dorum dum
Now when we went to sleep,
she being young
When he went to sleep,
out of bed she did creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man
Now he's got his falodoorum, fa didle dodoorum
He's got his faloodoorum, fa didle all day
He's got his falodoorum a right big my dingdorum
so maids when you're young never wed an old man
