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

Into the arms of a handsome young man

And I found his faloorum, faliddle aye oorum

I found his faloorum, he’s got my ding-doorum

So maids when you’re young never wed an old man
