An old man came courting me, hey durum dum dum day
An old man came courting me, me being young
An old man came courting me, fain would he marry me
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
He's got no falorum faliram falorum
He's got no falorum faliram fa lay
He's got no falorum, he's lost his ding dorum
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
And when we went to kirk, hey durum dum dum day
And when we went to kirk, me being young
And when we went to kirk, I knew it would not work
And when we went to bed, hey durum dum dum day
And when we went to bed, me being young
And when we went to bed, he lay as if he were dead
So I threw my leg over him, hey durum dum dum day
I threw my leg over him, me being young
I threw my leg over him, damn nearly smothered him
And when he went to sleep, hey durum dum dum day
And when he went to sleep, me being young
And when he went to sleep, out of bed I did creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man
He's got his falorum faliram falorum
He's got his falorum faliram fa lay
He's got his falorum, he's found my ding dorum
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
(Irisches Volkslied)
