		Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man


Ch: 	For he's got no fal-doo-rum-dah fal-diddle oo-doo
		He's got no fal-doo-rum-dah fal-diddle-day
		He's got no fal-doo-rum-dah, lost his ding doo-re-um
		Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man


Ver2:	When this old man comes to bed, hey-ding-a doo-rum
		When this old man comes to bed, me being young
		When this old man comes to bed, he lays like a lump of lead
		Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man


Chorus:	

Ver3:	When this old man goes to sleep, hey-ding-a doo-rum
		When this old man goes to sleep, me being young
		When this old man goes to sleep, out of bed I do creep
		Into the arms of a handsome young man

Chorus:

Ver4:	I wish this old man would die, hey-ding-a doo-rum
		I wish this old man would die, me being young
		I wish this old man would die, I'd make the money fly 
		Girls, for your sake, never wed an old man

Chorus:	

Ver5:	A young man is my delight, hey-ding-a doo-rum
		A young man is my delight, me being young
		A young man is my delight, he'll kiss you day and night 
		Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man
