BS 03 Maids When You're Young
Never Wed An Old Man
Traditional
An old man came courting me
Hey do a dority
An old man came courting me
Me being young
An old man came courting me
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 faloodoorum, fadidleday
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum
So maids when you're young, never wed an old man
Now when we went to the church, hey do a dority
When we went to the church, me being young
When we went to the church, he left me in the lurch
Maids when you're young, never wed an old man
Now when we went to our bed, hey do a dority
Now when we went to our bed, me being young
When we went to our bed, he neither done nor said
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
Now when he went to sleep, hey do a dority
Now when we went to sleep, me being young
When we went to sleep, out of bed I did creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man
And I found his falodoorum, fa didle dodoorum
I found his faloodoorum, fa didle all day
I found his falodoorum and he got my dingdoorum
So maids when you're young never wed an old man
Alternate to the last two verses (from Lady Christine the Good)
When I lay there fast asleep, Hey do a dority
When I lay there fast asleep, me being young,
When I lay there fast asleep, he out of bed did creep,
Into the arms of a handsome young man.
Now he's got faloorum fie didle fidorum
Now he's got faloorum fie didle all day
He's found his faloorum, he's got his ding dorum,
Maid's when you're young, never wed an old man....
