Well, an old man came courting her,
Hey, ding-dur-um daa!
An old man came courting her, her being young.
An old man came courting her, feign would he marry her,
Maids when you‟re young, never wed an old man.
So, why not?
Because he’s got no fal-or-um, fal-diddle-i-orum!
He’s got no fal-or-um, fal-diddle-i-aay!
He’s got no fal-or-um, he’s lost his ding-dor-um!
Maids when you’re young, never wed an old man.
So when they went to bed,
Hey, ding-dur-um daa!
Uh-huh...
When they went to bed, her being young.
When they went to bed, he lay like he was dead!
Maids when you‟re young, never wed an old man.
So, why not, again?
[CHORUS]
So...she...threw a leg over him,
Hey ding-dur-um daa!
Oww!
She threw a leg over him, her being young.
She threw a leg over him, damn well near smothered him!
Think about it!
Maids when you‟re young, never wed an old man.
She got it!
[CHORUS]
So when he went to sleep,
Hey, ding-dur-um daa!
Ssshhh!
When he went to sleep, her being young.
When he went to sleep, out of bed she did creep,
Into the arms of a handsome young man!
Bloodbeard – Rather like me!
All but Bloodbeard – Not hardly!
And she FOUND his fal-or-um, fal-diddle-i-orum!
She FOUND his fal-or-um, fal-diddle-i-aay!
She FOUND his fal-or-um; she got her ding-dor-um!
Maids when you’re young, never wed an old man.
