THE DEAF WOMAN'S COURTSHIP

Old woman, old woman, are you fond of smoking?_
Speak a little louder, sir, I'm rather hard of hearing.

Old woman, old woman, are you fond of carding?_
Speak a little louder, sir, I'm rather hard of hearing.

Old woman, old woman, don't you want me to court you?
Speak a little louder, sir, I've just begun to hear you.

Old woman, old woman, don't you want to marry me?
Lord have mercy on my soul, I think now I hear you.

From English Folk Songs in the Southern Appalachians, Sharp
Collected from Mrs. Emma Early, NC. 1918
