Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Maids, When You're Young, Never Wed an Old Man 
An old man came courting me, high-do-oh-darrity An old man came courting me, me being young An old man came courting me, then he proposed to me Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man. 
Chorus: For he had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-doorum He had no feloorum, fol-diddle, fol-dee He had no feloorum, he lost his ding-doorum So maids, when you're young, never wed an old man. 
When we went to the church, high-do-oh-darrity When we went to the church, me being young When we went to the church, he lay there in the lurch Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man. 
Chorus 
When we went into bed, high-do-oh-darrity When we went into bed, me being young When we went into bed, he lay there as if he were dead Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man. 
Chorus 
I put my leg over him, high-do-oh-darrity I put my leg over him, me being young I put my leg over him, damn nearly smothered him Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man. 
Chorus 
When he was fast asleep, high-do-oh-darrity When he was fast asleep, me being young When he was fast asleep, out of bed I did creep Into the arms of a handsome young man. 
Oh he had feloorum, etc.
