about

Never Wed An Old Man – Trad, arranged by Co-cheòl
Our arrangement of this cheeky traditional Irish song came out of many late nights and a lot of laughter!

lyrics

An old man came courting me, hey ding-doorum-die
An old man came courting me, me being young
An old man came courting me, saying "Will you marry me?"
Maids when you're young never wed an old man

When this old man goes to bed, hey ding-doorum-die
When this old man goes to bed, me being young
When this old man goes to bed, he lays like a lump of lead
Maids when you're young never wed an old man

He's got no faloorum, fal diddle-aye-oorum
He's got no faloorum, fal diddle-dal-day
He's got no faloorum, he's lost his ding-doorum so
Maids when you're young never wed an old man

I wish this old man would die, hey ding-doorum-die
I wish this old man would die, me being young
I wish this old man would die, I'd make the money fly
Maids when you're young never wed an old man

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

I found his faloorum, fal diddle aye oorum
I found his faloorum, fal diddle dal day
I found his faloorum, he's got my ding-doorum so
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
