Chorus
When we went to church hey ding doorum dah
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.
Chorus
When we went to bed hey ding doorum dah
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.
Chorus
So I threw me leg over him, hey ding doorum dah
I flung me leg over him, me being young
I flung me leg over him damned nearly smothered him
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man.
Chorus
When he went to sleep, hey ding doorum dah
When he went to sleep, me being young
When he went to sleep, out bed I did creep
Into the arms of a handsome young man.
Chorus
And I found his faloorum, fal-liddy-i-oorum
I found his faloorum, fal-diddy di daa
I found his faloorum, he got my ding doorum, now
Maids when you’re young never wed an old man.
Chorus
A young man is my delight, hey ding doorum dah
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.
The lyrics use nonsense words to express the bawdy meaning of the song as the young woman describes her bedroom activities her with doddering husband and virile young lover.
