Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
Ch: For he's got no fal-doo-rum-dah fal-diddle oo-doo
He's got no fal-doo-rum-dah fal-diddle-day
He's got no fal-doo-rum-dah, lost his ding doo-re-um
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
Ver2: When this old man comes to bed, hey-ding-a doo-rum
When this old man comes to bed, me being young
When this old man comes to bed, he lays like a lump of lead
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
Chorus:
Ver3: When this old man goes to sleep, hey-ding-a doo-rum
When this old man goes to sleep, me being young
When this old man goes to sleep, out of bed I do creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man
Chorus:
Ver4: I wish this old man would die, hey-ding-a doo-rum
I wish this old man would die, me being young
I wish this old man would die, I'd make the money fly
Girls, for your sake, never wed an old man
Chorus:
Ver5: A young man is my delight, hey-ding-a doo-rum
A young man is my delight, me being young
A young man is my delight, he'll kiss you day and night
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
