the old maid's song - peggy seeger lyrics

come 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 you let me die an old maid but take me out of pity

oh, i had a sister sally, she 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

come 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 you let me die an old maid but take me out of pity

oh, i had a sister susan, was ugly and ill*shapen
before she was sixteen years old she was takеn
before she was еighteen, a son and a daughter
here am i six and forty and nary an offer

come 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 you 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 at home a*saving
and i’ll leave it to the world if i am worth having
come 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 you let me die an old maid but take me out of pity
