Misc Folk - An Old Man Came Courting me - Текст песни

An old man he courted me, Hey ding dorum da,
An old man he courted me, me being young,
An old man he courted me all for to marry me,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

'Cos he's lost his fallorum fal diddle di-orum,
He's lost fallorum fal diddle di-ay,
He's lost his fallorum he's got no ding-dorum,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

It's when that we went to church, Hey ding dorum da,
It's when that we went to church, me being young,
It's when that we went to church he left me in the lurch,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

It's when we were coming home, Hey ding dorum dey,
It's when we were coming home, me being young,
It's when we were coming home he let me walk alone,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

It's when at supper set, Hey ding dorum dey,
It's when at supper set, me being young,
It's when at supper set devil a bite he could eat,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

Oh, it's when that we went to bed, Hey ding dorum dey,
Oh, it's when that we went to bed, me being young,
Oh, it's when that we went to bed he lay as if he was dead,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

I threw my leg over him, Hey ding dorum dey,
I threw my leg over him, me being young,
I threw my leg over him, I swore I would smother him,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

Oh, it's when he fell fast asleep, Hey ding dorum dey,
Oh, it's when he fell fast asleep, me being young,
Oh, it's when he fell fast asleep, out of bed I did creep,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.

(special chorus just for the 8th verse:
And he's got me fallorum fal diddle di-orum,
He's got me fallorum fal diddle di-ay,
He's got me fallorum I found his ding dorum
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.)

Oh, there we did sport and play, Hey ding dorum da,
Oh, there we did sport and play,me being young,
Oh, there we did sport and play until the break of day,
Maids while you're young, never marry an old man.
