Maids When You're Young Never Wed An Old Man - comp - The Dubliners

An old man came courting me, high-do-oh-darrity

An old man came courting me, me being young

An old man came courting me,

Then he marry to me

Maids, when you're young,

Never wed an old man.

For he had no feloorum,

Fol-diddle, fol-doorum

He had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-dee

He had no feloorum, he lost his ding-doorum

So maids, when you're young,

Never wed an old man.

When we went to the church,

High-do-oh-darrity

When we went to the church, me being young

When we went to the church,

He lay there in the lurch

Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.

For he had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-doorum

He had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-dee

He had no feloorum, he lost his ding-doorum

So maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.

When we went into bed, high-do-oh-darrity

When we went into bed, me being young

When we went into bed,

He lay there as if he were dead

Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.

For he had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-doorum

He had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-dee

He had no feloorum, he lost his ding-doorum

So maids, when you're young,

Never wed an old man.

I put my leg over him, high-do-oh-darrity

I put my leg over him, me being young

I put my leg over him, damn nearly smothered him

Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.

For he had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-doorum

He had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-dee

He had no feloorum, he lost his ding-doorum

So maids, when you're young,

Never wed an old man.

When he was went to asleep, high-do-oh-darrity

When he was went to asleep, me being young

When he was went to asleep,

Out of bed I did creep

Into the arms of a handsome young man.

For he had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-doorum

He had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-dee

He had no feloorum, he lost his ding-doorum

So maids, when you're young,

Never wed an old man.
