Maids, When You're, Never Wed an Old Man Songtext
von The Dubliners

An old man came courting me, hey ding dooram day
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:)

Because he's got no faloorum, fadidle eye-oorum
He′s got no faloorum, fadidle all day
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum
Oh Maids When You′re Young, Never Wed An Old Man

When we went to church, hey ding dooram day
When we went to church, me being young
When we went to church, he left me in the lurch
Maids When You′re Young, Never Wed An Old Man


(chorus)

When we went to bed, hey ding doorum day
When we went to bed, me being young
When we went to bed, he lay like he was dead
Maids when you're young never wed an old man

(chorus)

When he went to sleep, hey ding doorum day
When he went to sleep, me being young
When he went to sleep, out of bed I did creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man

And I found his faloorum, fadidle eye-oorum
I found his faloorum, fadidle all day
I found his faloorum, he got my ding doorum
So maids when you′re young never wed an old man
