[Verse 1]
An old man came courting me, courting me, courting me
An old man came courting me, faldaro dee
Yes an old man came courting me
Feigned he would marry me
Maids while you're young never wed an old man

[Chorus]
For they've got no faloorum, faliddle falooru
Got no faloorum, faliddle dog dee
No they've got no ding doodle
It's all in their noodle
Maids while you're young never wed an old man

[Verse 2]
When that we went to the church, went to the church, went to the church
When that we wеnt to the church, faldaro dee
Yes, when that wе went to church
He left me in the lurch
Now maids while you're young never wed an old man

[Chorus]
For they've got no faloorum, faliddle faloorum
Got no faloorum, faliddle dog dee
No they've got no ding doodle
It's all in their noodle
Maids while you're young never wed an old man
[Verse 3]
Now when that we went to bed, went to bed, went to bed
When that we went to bed, faldaro dee
Yes when that we went to bed
He lay as if he were dead
Now maids while you're young never wed an old man

[Chorus]
For they've got no faloorum, faliddle faloorum
Got no faloorum, faliddle dog dee
No they've got no ding doodle
It's all in their noodle
Maids while you're young never wed an old man

[Verse 4]
But when that he went to sleep, went to sleep, went to sleep
When that he went to sleep, faldaro dee
Yes when that he went to sleep
Out of bed I did creep
Into the arms of a jolly young man, haha

[Chorus]
And he had his faloorum, faliddle faloorum
Had his faloorum, faliddle dog dee
Yes he had his ding doodle
It wasn't in his noodle
Now maids while you're young never wed an old man
