Lyrics:

When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl

When I was a young girl then, oh then

When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl

When I was a young girl then, oh then



It was a ha ha this-a-way

Ha ha that-a-way

Ha ha this-a-way then, oh then




The boys came a-courtin' then, oh then
The boys came a-courtin', courtin', courtin'
The boys came a-courtin', courtin', courtin'



The boys came a-courtin' then, oh then

It was a primp primp this-a-way


Primp primp that-a-way

Primp primp this-a-way then, oh then



It was a ha ha this-a-way


Ha ha that-a-way
Primp primp this-a-way then, oh then



Then we married, married, married

Then we married then, oh then

Then he died, died, died

Then he died then, oh then




It was a boo-hoo this-a-way
Boo-hoo that-a-way

Boo-hoo this-a-way then, oh then



Ha ha this-a-way

Ha ha that-a-way

Ha ha this-a-way then, oh then



When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl
When I was a young girl then, oh then

(Boo-hoo this-a-way


Boo-hoo that-a-way

Boo-hoo this-a-way then, oh then)



When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl

When I was a young girl then, oh then
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl


When I was a young girl then, oh then
