The Old Maid Song (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

Frederik van Pallandt

[Intro]
(And the next song we
Found in Australia
Or since then...
It's a story of a disappointed old maid
And uh
Nina, of course, will sing the part of the disappointed old maid)

[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!
