Maids When You’re Young Never Wed an Old Man The Dubliners

Well, an man came courting me, hey ding doorum dow
An old man came courting me, me being young
An old man came courting me, fame would he marry me
Maids, when you're young never wed an old man

[Chorus]
Because he's got no faloorum, faliddle aye oorum
He's got no faloorum, faliddle all day
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum
Ah maids, when you're young never wed an old man

When we went to church, hey ding doorum dow
When we went to church, me being young
When we went to church, he left me in the lurch
Ah-maids, when you're young never wed an old man

[Chorus]
Because he's got no faloorum, faliddle aye oorum
He's got no faloorum, faliddle all day
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding doorum
Ah maids, when you're young never wed an old man

When we went to bed, hey ding doorum dow
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
