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