The Dubliners - Maids When You're Young Never Wed an Old Man lyrics

Because he's got no faloorum, faliddle aye oorum He's got no faloorum, faliddle aye ay He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum So maids when you're young never wed an old man 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, fain he would marry me Maids when you're young never wed an old man Because he's got no faloorum, faliddle aye oorum He's got no faloorum, faliddle aye ay He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum So maids when you're young never wed an old man When we went to church, hey ding-doorum down When we went to church, me being young When we went to church, he left me in the lurch Maids when you're young never wed an old man Because he's got no faloorum, faliddle aye oorum He's got no faloorum, faliddle aye ay He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum So maids when you're young never wed an old man When we went to bed, hey ding-doorum down When we went to bed, me being young When we went to bed, he lay like he was dead Maids when you're young never wed an old man Because he's got no faloorum, faliddle aye oorum He's got no faloorum, faliddle aye ay He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum So maids when you're young never wed an old man When he went to sleep, hey ding-doorum down When he went to sleep, me being young When he went to sleep, out of bed I did creep Into the arms of a handsome young man And I found his faloorum, faliddle aye oorum I found his faloorum, faliddle aye ay I found his faloorum, he's got my ding-doorum So maids when you're young never wed an old man
