Never Wed an Old Man Pete Seeger

[Verse 1]
An old man come courting me, fa-la-la-loodle
An old man come courting me, high-dery-down
An old man come courting me, oh, for to marry me
Maids, when you're young never wed an old man

[Chorus]
He has no faloodle, fa-la-la-la-loodle
He has no faloodle, a-diverla-one
He has no faloodle, he's lost his ding-doodle
It's, maids, when you're young never wed an old man

[Verse 2]
It's when that we went to church, fa-la-la-la-loodle
It's when that we went to church, high-dery-down
It's when that we went to church, he left me in the lurch
Maids, when you're young never wed an old man

[Verse 3]
It's when we were walking home, fa-la-la-la-loodle
It's when we were walking home, high-dery-down
It's when we were walking home, he left me walk alone
Maids, when you're young never wed an old man

[Verse 4]
It's when I had supper set, fa-la-la-la-loodle
It's when I had supper set, high-dery-down
It's when I had supper set, divle a bite he could eat
Maids, when you're young never wed an old man
