- An old man came courting me, Hey ding-doorum-down;
An old man came courting me, Me being young;
An old man came courting me, He did propose to me;
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man.
For he's got no faloorum, fal-iddle faloorum,
He's got no faloorum, fal-iddle iy-ay;
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum,
Maids when you're young never wed an old man.
- When we sat down to tea, Hey ding-doorum-down;
When we sat down to tea, Me being young;
When we sat down to tea, He started teasing me;
Maids when you1re young never wed an old man.
For he's got no faloorum, fal-iddle faloorum,
He's got no faloorum, fal-iddle iy-ay;
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum,
Maids when you're young never wed an old man.
- When we went up to bed, Hey ding-doorum-down;
When we went up to bed, Me being young;
When we went up to bed, He lay as if were dead;
Maids when you1re young never wed an old man.
For he's got no faloorum, fal-iddle faloorum,
He's got no faloorum, fal-iddle iy-ay;
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum,
Maids when you're young never wed an old man.
- When he was fast asleep, Hey ding-doorum-down;
When he was fast asleep, Me being young;
When he was fast asleep, I from his side did creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man.
Now he's got faloorum, fal-iddle, faloorum,
Now he's got faloorum, fal-iddle, fal-ay;
Now he's got faloorum, he's got her ding-dooruin,
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man.
