the wolfe tones - the old maid lyrics
(chorus)
a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailor
fiddler or a dancer, a ploughboy or a sailor
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty
don’t let me die an old maid, just take me out of pity
oh, i had a sister sally, was younger than i am
she had so many sweethearts, she had to deny them;
as for my own part, i never had many
if you all knew my heart i’d be thankful for any
(chorus)
a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailor
fiddler or a dancer, a ploughboy or a sailor
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty
don’t let me die an old maid, just take me out of pity
i had a sister suzie, was ugly and misshapen
before she was sixteen years old she was taken
before she was eighteen, a son and a daughter
here am i, six and forty and nairy an offer
(chorus)
a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailor
fiddler or a dancer, a ploughboy or a sailor
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty
don’t let me die an old maid, just take me out of pity
oh, i never will be scolding, i never will be jealous
my husband shall have money to go to the alehouse
while here’s there a-drinkin’ i’ll be home a savin’
and i’ll leave it to the world if i am worth havin’
(chorus)
a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailor
fiddler or a dancer, a ploughboy or a sailor
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty
don’t let me die an old maid, just take me out of pity
