Maids When Your Young, Never Wed An Old Man - Lyrics & Chords

 

An  old man came a-courting me,
D7 
Hay-ding  doo-rum-down,
An  old man came a-courting me,
D7 
Hay  doo-rum  down;
D7 
An  old man came a- courting  me,
D7 
Fain would he  marry me.
D7 
Maids, when you're  young, never  wed an old  man.

Chorus:

D7 
For they've got no fal-loo-rum, fal-lid-dle fal- loo-rum,
D7 
They've  got no fal-loo-rum, fal-lid-dle all  day;
They've  got no fal- loo-rum,
D7  D7 
They've  lost their ding  doo-rum,
D7 
So,  maids when you're  young, never  wed an old  man.

Now when we went to church,
Hay  ding doorum down,
When we went to church,
Hay doo-rum down;
When we went to church,
He left me in the lurch.
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.

Now when we went to bed,
Hay  ding doo-rum down,
When we went to bed,
Hay doo-rum down;
When we went to bed,
He neither done nor said.
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.

Now when he went to sleep,
Hay ding doo-rum down,
When he went to sleep,
Hay  doo-rum down;
When he went to sleep,
Out of bed I did creep,
Into  the arms of a jolly young man.

Last  Chorus:
And I found his fal-looral fal-liddle fal-looral,
I found his fal-looral, fal-liddle all day,
I found his fal-loorum and he got my ding doo-rum,
So maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.
