wolfe tones - the old maid lyrics

Loading...

chorus:
come a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailer,
fiddler, or a dancer, ploughboy or a sailor,
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty,
don’t let me die an old maid, but 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:
come a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailer,
fiddler, or a dancer, ploughboy or a sailor,
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty,
don’t let me die an old maid, but take me out of pity.

oh, i had a sister susan, 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 nary an offer.

chorus:
come a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailer,
fiddler, or a dancer, ploughboy or a sailor,
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty,
don’t let me die an old maid, but 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 he’s there a-spending, well, i’ll be home a-
saving,
and i’ll leave it to the world if i am worth having.

chorus:
come a landsman, a pinsman, a tinker or a tailer,
fiddler, or a dancer, ploughboy or a sailor,
gentleman, a poor man, a fool or a witty,
don’t let me die an old maid, but take me out of pity.
