Steeleye Span

I was told by my Aunt
I was told by my Mother
That going to a wedding
Is the making of another
Well if this be so
Then I'll go without a bidding
Oh kind Providence
Won't you send me to a wedding

Chorus:
And it's oh dear me how will it be
If I die an old maid in the garrett

Now there's my sister Jean
She's not handsome or good-looking
Scarcely sixteen
And a fellow she was courting
Now she's twenty-four
She's a son and a daughter
Here am I, forty-four
And I've never had an offer

Chorus:
And it's oh dear me how will it be
If I die an old maid in the garrett

I can cook and I can sew
I can keep a house right tidy
Rise up in the morning
And get the breakfast ready
There's nothing in this wide world
That makes my heart so cheery
As a wee fat man
To call me his own deary

Chorus:
And it's oh dear me how will it be
If I die an old maid in the garrett

Oh dear me

Oh come landsman, come townsman
Come tinker or come tailor
Come fiddler, come dancer
Come ploughman or come sailor
Come rich man, come poor man
Come fool or come witty
Come any man at all
Won't you marry out of pity?

Chorus:
And it's oh dear me how will it be
If I die an old maid in the garrett

Chorus:
And it's oh dear me how will it be
If I die an old maid in the garrett

They say that the women are
Worse than the men
They go down to Hell
And they're thrown out again


Mirror lyrics:

And they're thrown out again
They go down to Hell
Worse than the men
They say that the women are

If I die an old maid in the garrett
And it's oh dear me how will it be
Chorus:

If I die an old maid in the garrett
And it's oh dear me how will it be
Chorus:

Won't you marry out of pity?
Come any man at all
Come fool or come witty
Come rich man, come poor man
Come ploughman or come sailor
Come fiddler, come dancer
Come tinker or come tailor
Oh come landsman, come townsman

Oh dear me

If I die an old maid in the garrett
And it's oh dear me how will it be
Chorus:

To call me his own deary
As a wee fat man
That makes my heart so cheery
There's nothing in this wide world
And get the breakfast ready
Rise up in the morning
I can keep a house right tidy
I can cook and I can sew

If I die an old maid in the garrett
And it's oh dear me how will it be
Chorus:

And I've never had an offer
Here am I, forty-four
She's a son and a daughter
Now she's twenty-four
And a fellow she was courting
Scarcely sixteen
She's not handsome or good-looking
Now there's my sister Jean

If I die an old maid in the garrett
And it's oh dear me how will it be
Chorus:

Won't you send me to a wedding
Oh kind Providence
Then I'll go without a bidding
Well if this be so
Is the making of another
That going to a wedding
I was told by my Mother
I was told by my Aunt

love

the loved

seeing is believing

dance in the street

groove with me baby

show me

right back at your door

trip wire

take off to the sky

yo no soy esa mujer

tomorrow

wherever you are

over and out

beyond

konung

all year round

strong weakness

bridge burning
