the old maid song - nina & frederik lyrics
[verse 1]
i have a sister, sally, who’s younger than i am
had so many sweethearts, she had to deny them
but as for my part, i’d not had many
and if you knew my heart, i’d be grateful for any
[chorus]
come a landsman, a tinsman, a tinker or a tailor
fiddler or a dancer, a ploughboy or a sailor
rich man or poor man, a fool or a witty
don’t you let me die an old maid, but take me out of pity
[verse 2]
i have a sister sarah who’s ugly and misshapen
before she was sixteen she was taken
before she was eighteen, a son and a daughter
here am at six and three, and i haven’t had an offer
[chorus]
come a landsman, a tinsman, a tinker or a tailor
fiddler or a dancer, a ploughboy or a sailor
rich man or poor man, a fool or a witty
don’t you let me die an old maid, but take me out of pity
[verse 3]
i never would be scolding, i never would be jealous
my husband would have money to go on to the alehouse
while he’s there spendin’, i’d be at home a*savin’
i leave it to you all, don’t you think i’m worth havin’?
[chorus]
come a landsman, a tinsman, a tinker or a tailor
fiddler or a dancer, a ploughboy or a sailor
rich man or poor man, a fool or a witty
don’t you let me die an old maid, but take me out of pity
[outro]
he did!
